2 more than twice a number is 141

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 141" 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 141.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 141

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 = 141

2x + 2 - 2 = 141 - 2
2x = 139

2x/2 = 139/2
x = 69.5

Answer = 69.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 69.5 is 139, and 2 more than 139 is in fact 141.
