2 more than twice a number is 292

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 292" 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 292.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 292

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 = 292

2x + 2 - 2 = 292 - 2
2x = 290

2x/2 = 290/2
x = 145

Answer = 145

The answer above is correct, because twice 145 is 290, and 2 more than 290 is in fact 292.
