2 more than twice a number is 116

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 116" 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 116.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 116

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 = 116

2x + 2 - 2 = 116 - 2
2x = 114

2x/2 = 114/2
x = 57

Answer = 57

The answer above is correct, because twice 57 is 114, and 2 more than 114 is in fact 116.
