2 more than twice a number is 390

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 390" 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 390.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 390

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 = 390

2x + 2 - 2 = 390 - 2
2x = 388

2x/2 = 388/2
x = 194

Answer = 194

The answer above is correct, because twice 194 is 388, and 2 more than 388 is in fact 390.
