2 more than twice a number is 248

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 248" 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 248.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 248

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 = 248

2x + 2 - 2 = 248 - 2
2x = 246

2x/2 = 246/2
x = 123

Answer = 123

The answer above is correct, because twice 123 is 246, and 2 more than 246 is in fact 248.
