2 more than twice a number is 354

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 354" 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 354.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 354

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 = 354

2x + 2 - 2 = 354 - 2
2x = 352

2x/2 = 352/2
x = 176

Answer = 176

The answer above is correct, because twice 176 is 352, and 2 more than 352 is in fact 354.
