The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 184" 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 184.
To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 184
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 = 184
2x + 2 - 2 = 184 - 2
2x = 182
2x/2 = 182/2
x = 91
Answer = 91
The answer above is correct, because twice 91 is 182, and 2 more than 182 is in fact 184.
