2 more than twice a number is 343

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 343" 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 343.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 343

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 = 343

2x + 2 - 2 = 343 - 2
2x = 341

2x/2 = 341/2
x = 170.5

Answer = 170.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 170.5 is 341, and 2 more than 341 is in fact 343.
