2 more than twice a number is 112

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 112" 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 112.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 112

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 = 112

2x + 2 - 2 = 112 - 2
2x = 110

2x/2 = 110/2
x = 55

Answer = 55

The answer above is correct, because twice 55 is 110, and 2 more than 110 is in fact 112.
