2 more than twice a number is 355

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 355" 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 355.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 355

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 = 355

2x + 2 - 2 = 355 - 2
2x = 353

2x/2 = 353/2
x = 176.5

Answer = 176.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 176.5 is 353, and 2 more than 353 is in fact 355.
