x + 2x + 2 = 40
2x + 2 = 40
x + 2x − 2 = 40
2x − 2 = 40

Shadow · Answer

Say we both have some cookies. And I have two more than double your cookies.

I could say that I have 2x + 2, where x is the number of cookies you have.

Shadow · Answer

'more than' is basically saying addition, and 'double' is saying multiplication

Shadow · Answer

So for the total amount of cookies we can say x (to represent you) + 2x + 2 (to represent me)

x + 2x + 2 = the total amount of cookies.
