2 more than twice a number is 124

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 124" 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 124.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 124

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 = 124

2x + 2 - 2 = 124 - 2
2x = 122

2x/2 = 122/2
x = 61

Answer = 61

The answer above is correct, because twice 61 is 122, and 2 more than 122 is in fact 124.
