2 more than twice a number is 369

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 369" 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 369.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 369

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 = 369

2x + 2 - 2 = 369 - 2
2x = 367

2x/2 = 367/2
x = 183.5

Answer = 183.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 183.5 is 367, and 2 more than 367 is in fact 369.
