The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 352" 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 352.
To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 352
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 = 352
2x + 2 - 2 = 352 - 2
2x = 350
2x/2 = 350/2
x = 175
Answer = 175
The answer above is correct, because twice 175 is 350, and 2 more than 350 is in fact 352.
