2 more than twice a number is 183

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 183" 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 183.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 183

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 = 183

2x + 2 - 2 = 183 - 2
2x = 181

2x/2 = 181/2
x = 90.5

Answer = 90.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 90.5 is 181, and 2 more than 181 is in fact 183.
