2 more than twice a number is 194

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 194" 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 194.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 194

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 = 194

2x + 2 - 2 = 194 - 2
2x = 192

2x/2 = 192/2
x = 96

Answer = 96

The answer above is correct, because twice 96 is 192, and 2 more than 192 is in fact 194.
