2 more than twice a number is 122

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 122" 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 122.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 122

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 = 122

2x + 2 - 2 = 122 - 2
2x = 120

2x/2 = 120/2
x = 60

Answer = 60

The answer above is correct, because twice 60 is 120, and 2 more than 120 is in fact 122.
