2 more than twice a number is 236

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 236" 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 236.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 236

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 = 236

2x + 2 - 2 = 236 - 2
2x = 234

2x/2 = 234/2
x = 117

Answer = 117

The answer above is correct, because twice 117 is 234, and 2 more than 234 is in fact 236.
