2 more than twice a number is 132

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 132" 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 132.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 132

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 = 132

2x + 2 - 2 = 132 - 2
2x = 130

2x/2 = 130/2
x = 65

Answer = 65

The answer above is correct, because twice 65 is 130, and 2 more than 130 is in fact 132.
