2 more than twice a number is 212

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 212" 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 212.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 212

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 = 212

2x + 2 - 2 = 212 - 2
2x = 210

2x/2 = 210/2
x = 105

Answer = 105

The answer above is correct, because twice 105 is 210, and 2 more than 210 is in fact 212.
