2 more than twice a number is 346

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 346" 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 346.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 346

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 = 346

2x + 2 - 2 = 346 - 2
2x = 344

2x/2 = 344/2
x = 172

Answer = 172

The answer above is correct, because twice 172 is 344, and 2 more than 344 is in fact 346.
