2 more than twice a number is 175

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 175" 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 175.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 175

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 = 175

2x + 2 - 2 = 175 - 2
2x = 173

2x/2 = 173/2
x = 86.5

Answer = 86.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 86.5 is 173, and 2 more than 173 is in fact 175.
