2 more than twice a number is 313

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 313" 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 313.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 313

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 = 313

2x + 2 - 2 = 313 - 2
2x = 311

2x/2 = 311/2
x = 155.5

Answer = 155.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 155.5 is 311, and 2 more than 311 is in fact 313.
