2 more than twice a number is 133

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 133" 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 133.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 133

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 = 133

2x + 2 - 2 = 133 - 2
2x = 131

2x/2 = 131/2
x = 65.5

Answer = 65.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 65.5 is 131, and 2 more than 131 is in fact 133.
