2 more than twice a number is 373

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 373" 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 373.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 373

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 = 373

2x + 2 - 2 = 373 - 2
2x = 371

2x/2 = 371/2
x = 185.5

Answer = 185.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 185.5 is 371, and 2 more than 371 is in fact 373.
