2 more than twice a number is 407

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 407" 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 407.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 407

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 = 407

2x + 2 - 2 = 407 - 2
2x = 405

2x/2 = 405/2
x = 202.5

Answer = 202.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 202.5 is 405, and 2 more than 405 is in fact 407.
