1. The problem is to understand how the answer 2 was obtained. 2. Without additional context, a common way to get the answer 2 is by solving a simple equation or evaluating an expression. 3. For example, if the problem was to solve $x = 2$, then the answer is directly 2. 4. Another example: if the problem was $1 + 1$, then by adding the two numbers, we get $1 + 1 = 2$. 5. If you provide the original problem or equation, I can show the exact steps to reach the answer 2. 6. In general, to get 2, you either solve an equation or simplify an expression that equals 2.
