2 more than twice a number is 345

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 345" 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 345.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 345

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 = 345

2x + 2 - 2 = 345 - 2
2x = 343

2x/2 = 343/2
x = 171.5

Answer = 171.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 171.5 is 343, and 2 more than 343 is in fact 345.
