1)so twice a number is 2x assuming variable is x2) 2 more is adding two so add two3)so what we have so far is 2x+24) is equal means put an equal sign and write the original number or x.5)write equation 2x+2=x6) simplify 2=(-x) then divide by negative one to get x. 7)2/-1=(-2) so x=(-2)

Negative 2.
