2 more than twice a number is 104

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 104" 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 104.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 104

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 = 104

2x + 2 - 2 = 104 - 2
2x = 102

2x/2 = 102/2
x = 51

Answer = 51

The answer above is correct, because twice 51 is 102, and 2 more than 102 is in fact 104.
