2 more than twice a number is 123

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 123" 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 123.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 123

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 = 123

2x + 2 - 2 = 123 - 2
2x = 121

2x/2 = 121/2
x = 60.5

Answer = 60.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 60.5 is 121, and 2 more than 121 is in fact 123.
