2 more than twice a number is 368

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 368" 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 368.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 368

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 = 368

2x + 2 - 2 = 368 - 2
2x = 366

2x/2 = 366/2
x = 183

Answer = 183

The answer above is correct, because twice 183 is 366, and 2 more than 366 is in fact 368.
