1. The problem is to understand the function where for every input $x$, the output $y$ is the original input plus 2. 2. The formula for this function is $y = x + 2$. 3. This means that whatever value $x$ takes, you add 2 to it to get $y$. 4. For example, if $x = 3$, then $y = 3 + 2 = 5$. 5. This is a simple linear function where the graph is a straight line with slope 1 and y-intercept 2. 6. The function shifts the original input $x$ by 2 units upwards on the y-axis.
