2 more than twice a number is 349

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 349" 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 349.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 349

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 = 349

2x + 2 - 2 = 349 - 2
2x = 347

2x/2 = 347/2
x = 173.5

Answer = 173.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 173.5 is 347, and 2 more than 347 is in fact 349.
