2 more than twice a number is 105

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 105" 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 105.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 105

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 = 105

2x + 2 - 2 = 105 - 2
2x = 103

2x/2 = 103/2
x = 51.5

Answer = 51.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 51.5 is 103, and 2 more than 103 is in fact 105.
