The expression given is:
Two times a number, increased by 2
We can go step-by-step to write this expression as an algebraic expression.
[Let the unknown number be "x"]
First part is:
Two times a number
This means twice a number, or, twice the number "x", thus we can write:
[tex]2x[/tex]Then we have:
Increase by 2
This means we add 2 to the expression we got earlier. We had "2x", now we add 2 to it, so it becomes:
[tex]2x+2[/tex]Hence, the final algebraic expression will be:
[tex]2x+2[/tex]
