2 more than twice a number is 341

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 341" 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 341.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 341

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 = 341

2x + 2 - 2 = 341 - 2
2x = 339

2x/2 = 339/2
x = 169.5

Answer = 169.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 169.5 is 339, and 2 more than 339 is in fact 341.
