2 more than twice a number is 363

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 363" 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 363.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 363

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 = 363

2x + 2 - 2 = 363 - 2
2x = 361

2x/2 = 361/2
x = 180.5

Answer = 180.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 180.5 is 361, and 2 more than 361 is in fact 363.
