2 more than twice a number is 136

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 136" 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 136.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 136

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 = 136

2x + 2 - 2 = 136 - 2
2x = 134

2x/2 = 134/2
x = 67

Answer = 67

The answer above is correct, because twice 67 is 134, and 2 more than 134 is in fact 136.
