2 more than twice a number is 353

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 353" 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 353.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 353

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 = 353

2x + 2 - 2 = 353 - 2
2x = 351

2x/2 = 351/2
x = 175.5

Answer = 175.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 175.5 is 351, and 2 more than 351 is in fact 353.
