2 more than twice a number is 191

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 191" 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 191.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 191

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 = 191

2x + 2 - 2 = 191 - 2
2x = 189

2x/2 = 189/2
x = 94.5

Answer = 94.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 94.5 is 189, and 2 more than 189 is in fact 191.
