2 more than twice a number is 344

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 344" 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 344.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 344

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 = 344

2x + 2 - 2 = 344 - 2
2x = 342

2x/2 = 342/2
x = 171

Answer = 171

The answer above is correct, because twice 171 is 342, and 2 more than 342 is in fact 344.
