2 more than twice a number is 193

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 193" 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 193.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 193

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 = 193

2x + 2 - 2 = 193 - 2
2x = 191

2x/2 = 191/2
x = 95.5

Answer = 95.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 95.5 is 191, and 2 more than 191 is in fact 193.
