2 more than twice a number is 106

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 106" 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 106.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 106

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 = 106

2x + 2 - 2 = 106 - 2
2x = 104

2x/2 = 104/2
x = 52

Answer = 52

The answer above is correct, because twice 52 is 104, and 2 more than 104 is in fact 106.
