2 more than twice a number is 364

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 364" 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 364.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 364

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 = 364

2x + 2 - 2 = 364 - 2
2x = 362

2x/2 = 362/2
x = 181

Answer = 181

The answer above is correct, because twice 181 is 362, and 2 more than 362 is in fact 364.
