2 more than twice a number is 234

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 234" 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 234.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 234

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 = 234

2x + 2 - 2 = 234 - 2
2x = 232

2x/2 = 232/2
x = 116

Answer = 116

The answer above is correct, because twice 116 is 232, and 2 more than 232 is in fact 234.
