2 more than twice a number is 129

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 129" 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 129.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 129

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 = 129

2x + 2 - 2 = 129 - 2
2x = 127

2x/2 = 127/2
x = 63.5

Answer = 63.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 63.5 is 127, and 2 more than 127 is in fact 129.
