2 more than twice a number is 146

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 146" 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 146.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 146

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 = 146

2x + 2 - 2 = 146 - 2
2x = 144

2x/2 = 144/2
x = 72

Answer = 72

The answer above is correct, because twice 72 is 144, and 2 more than 144 is in fact 146.
