2 more than twice a number is 228

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 228" 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 228.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 228

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 = 228

2x + 2 - 2 = 228 - 2
2x = 226

2x/2 = 226/2
x = 113

Answer = 113

The answer above is correct, because twice 113 is 226, and 2 more than 226 is in fact 228.
