2 more than twice a number is 180

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 180" 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 180.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 180

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 = 180

2x + 2 - 2 = 180 - 2
2x = 178

2x/2 = 178/2
x = 89

Answer = 89

The answer above is correct, because twice 89 is 178, and 2 more than 178 is in fact 180.
