2 more than twice a number is 103

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 103" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 2, you get 103.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 103

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 2 = 103

2x + 2 - 2 = 103 - 2
2x = 101

2x/2 = 101/2
x = 50.5

Answer = 50.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 50.5 is 101, and 2 more than 101 is in fact 103.
