2 more than twice a number is 114

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 114" 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 114.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 114

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 = 114

2x + 2 - 2 = 114 - 2
2x = 112

2x/2 = 112/2
x = 56

Answer = 56

The answer above is correct, because twice 56 is 112, and 2 more than 112 is in fact 114.
