2 more than twice a number is 210

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 210" 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 210.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 210

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 = 210

2x + 2 - 2 = 210 - 2
2x = 208

2x/2 = 208/2
x = 104

Answer = 104

The answer above is correct, because twice 104 is 208, and 2 more than 208 is in fact 210.
