2 more than twice a number is 348

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 348" 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 348.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 348

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 = 348

2x + 2 - 2 = 348 - 2
2x = 346

2x/2 = 346/2
x = 173

Answer = 173

The answer above is correct, because twice 173 is 346, and 2 more than 346 is in fact 348.
