2 more than twice a number is 360

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 360" 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 360.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 360

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 = 360

2x + 2 - 2 = 360 - 2
2x = 358

2x/2 = 358/2
x = 179

Answer = 179

The answer above is correct, because twice 179 is 358, and 2 more than 358 is in fact 360.
