2 more than twice a number is 392

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 392" 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 392.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 392

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 = 392

2x + 2 - 2 = 392 - 2
2x = 390

2x/2 = 390/2
x = 195

Answer = 195

The answer above is correct, because twice 195 is 390, and 2 more than 390 is in fact 392.
