2 more than twice a number is 148

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 148" 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 148.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 148

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 = 148

2x + 2 - 2 = 148 - 2
2x = 146

2x/2 = 146/2
x = 73

Answer = 73

The answer above is correct, because twice 73 is 146, and 2 more than 146 is in fact 148.
