2 more than twice a number is 374

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 374" 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 374.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 374

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 = 374

2x + 2 - 2 = 374 - 2
2x = 372

2x/2 = 372/2
x = 186

Answer = 186

The answer above is correct, because twice 186 is 372, and 2 more than 372 is in fact 374.
