2 more than twice a number is 154

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 154" 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 154.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 154

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 = 154

2x + 2 - 2 = 154 - 2
2x = 152

2x/2 = 152/2
x = 76

Answer = 76

The answer above is correct, because twice 76 is 152, and 2 more than 152 is in fact 154.
