2 more than twice a number is 241

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 241" 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 241.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 241

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 = 241

2x + 2 - 2 = 241 - 2
2x = 239

2x/2 = 239/2
x = 119.5

Answer = 119.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 119.5 is 239, and 2 more than 239 is in fact 241.
