2 more than twice a number is 375

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 375" 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 375.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 375

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 = 375

2x + 2 - 2 = 375 - 2
2x = 373

2x/2 = 373/2
x = 186.5

Answer = 186.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 186.5 is 373, and 2 more than 373 is in fact 375.
