2 more than twice a number is 130

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 130" 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 130.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 130

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 = 130

2x + 2 - 2 = 130 - 2
2x = 128

2x/2 = 128/2
x = 64

Answer = 64

The answer above is correct, because twice 64 is 128, and 2 more than 128 is in fact 130.
