2 more than twice a number is 109

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 109" 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 109.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 109

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 = 109

2x + 2 - 2 = 109 - 2
2x = 107

2x/2 = 107/2
x = 53.5

Answer = 53.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 53.5 is 107, and 2 more than 107 is in fact 109.
