2 more than twice a number is 223

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 223" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 2, you get 223.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 223

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 2 = 223

2x + 2 - 2 = 223 - 2
2x = 221

2x/2 = 221/2
x = 110.5

Answer = 110.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 110.5 is 221, and 2 more than 221 is in fact 223.
