2 more than twice a number is 107

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 107" 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 107.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 107

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 = 107

2x + 2 - 2 = 107 - 2
2x = 105

2x/2 = 105/2
x = 52.5

Answer = 52.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 52.5 is 105, and 2 more than 105 is in fact 107.
