2 more than twice a number is 379

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 379" 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 379.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 379

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 = 379

2x + 2 - 2 = 379 - 2
2x = 377

2x/2 = 377/2
x = 188.5

Answer = 188.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 188.5 is 377, and 2 more than 377 is in fact 379.
