Question 795177: what is the difference between twice a number and the sum of the number and two?

The first is talking about MULTIPLYING by 2 and the second is talking
about ADDING 2.

That is,

"twice a number" means to take a number and MULTIPLY it BY 2

"the sum of the number and two" means to take the number and ADD 2 to it.
