2 more than twice a number is 339

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 339" 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 339.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 339

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 = 339

2x + 2 - 2 = 339 - 2
2x = 337

2x/2 = 337/2
x = 168.5

Answer = 168.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 168.5 is 337, and 2 more than 337 is in fact 339.
