2 more than twice a number is 232

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 232" 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 232.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 232

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 = 232

2x + 2 - 2 = 232 - 2
2x = 230

2x/2 = 230/2
x = 115

Answer = 115

The answer above is correct, because twice 115 is 230, and 2 more than 230 is in fact 232.
