2 more than twice a number is 25

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 25" 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 25.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 25

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 = 25

2x + 2 - 2 = 25 - 2
2x = 23

2x/2 = 23/2
x = 11.5

Answer = 11.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 11.5 is 23, and 2 more than 23 is in fact 25.
