2 more than twice a number is 155

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 155" 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 155.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 155

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 = 155

2x + 2 - 2 = 155 - 2
2x = 153

2x/2 = 153/2
x = 76.5

Answer = 76.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 76.5 is 153, and 2 more than 153 is in fact 155.
