2 more than twice a number is 126

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 126" 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 126.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 126

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 = 126

2x + 2 - 2 = 126 - 2
2x = 124

2x/2 = 124/2
x = 62

Answer = 62

The answer above is correct, because twice 62 is 124, and 2 more than 124 is in fact 126.
