2 more than twice a number is 394

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 394" 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 394.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 394

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 = 394

2x + 2 - 2 = 394 - 2
2x = 392

2x/2 = 392/2
x = 196

Answer = 196

The answer above is correct, because twice 196 is 392, and 2 more than 392 is in fact 394.
