2 more than twice a number is 356

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 356" 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 356.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 356

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 = 356

2x + 2 - 2 = 356 - 2
2x = 354

2x/2 = 354/2
x = 177

Answer = 177

The answer above is correct, because twice 177 is 354, and 2 more than 354 is in fact 356.
