2 more than twice a number is 151

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 151" 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 151.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 151

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 = 151

2x + 2 - 2 = 151 - 2
2x = 149

2x/2 = 149/2
x = 74.5

Answer = 74.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 74.5 is 149, and 2 more than 149 is in fact 151.
