2 more than twice a number is 329

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 329" 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 329.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 329

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 = 329

2x + 2 - 2 = 329 - 2
2x = 327

2x/2 = 327/2
x = 163.5

Answer = 163.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 163.5 is 327, and 2 more than 327 is in fact 329.
