2 more than twice a number is 382

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 382" 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 382.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 382

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 = 382

2x + 2 - 2 = 382 - 2
2x = 380

2x/2 = 380/2
x = 190

Answer = 190

The answer above is correct, because twice 190 is 380, and 2 more than 380 is in fact 382.
