2 more than twice a number is 300

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 300" 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 300.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 300

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 = 300

2x + 2 - 2 = 300 - 2
2x = 298

2x/2 = 298/2
x = 149

Answer = 149

The answer above is correct, because twice 149 is 298, and 2 more than 298 is in fact 300.
