2 more than twice a number is 218

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 218" 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 218.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 218

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 = 218

2x + 2 - 2 = 218 - 2
2x = 216

2x/2 = 216/2
x = 108

Answer = 108

The answer above is correct, because twice 108 is 216, and 2 more than 216 is in fact 218.
