2 more than twice a number is 395

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 395" 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 395.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 395

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 = 395

2x + 2 - 2 = 395 - 2
2x = 393

2x/2 = 393/2
x = 196.5

Answer = 196.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 196.5 is 393, and 2 more than 393 is in fact 395.
