2 more than twice a number is 127

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 127" 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 127.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 127

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 = 127

2x + 2 - 2 = 127 - 2
2x = 125

2x/2 = 125/2
x = 62.5

Answer = 62.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 62.5 is 125, and 2 more than 125 is in fact 127.
