2 more than twice a number is 108

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 108" 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 108.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 108

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 = 108

2x + 2 - 2 = 108 - 2
2x = 106

2x/2 = 106/2
x = 53

Answer = 53

The answer above is correct, because twice 53 is 106, and 2 more than 106 is in fact 108.
