2 more than twice a number is 152

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 152" 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 152.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 152

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 = 152

2x + 2 - 2 = 152 - 2
2x = 150

2x/2 = 150/2
x = 75

Answer = 75

The answer above is correct, because twice 75 is 150, and 2 more than 150 is in fact 152.
