2 more than twice a number is 365

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 365" 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 365.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 365

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 = 365

2x + 2 - 2 = 365 - 2
2x = 363

2x/2 = 363/2
x = 181.5

Answer = 181.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 181.5 is 363, and 2 more than 363 is in fact 365.
