2 more than twice a number is 113

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 113" 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 113.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 113

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 = 113

2x + 2 - 2 = 113 - 2
2x = 111

2x/2 = 111/2
x = 55.5

Answer = 55.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 55.5 is 111, and 2 more than 111 is in fact 113.
