2 more than twice a number is 413

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 413" 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 413.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 413

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 = 413

2x + 2 - 2 = 413 - 2
2x = 411

2x/2 = 411/2
x = 205.5

Answer = 205.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 205.5 is 411, and 2 more than 411 is in fact 413.
