2 more than twice a number is 426

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 426" 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 426.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 426

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 = 426

2x + 2 - 2 = 426 - 2
2x = 424

2x/2 = 424/2
x = 212

Answer = 212

The answer above is correct, because twice 212 is 424, and 2 more than 424 is in fact 426.
