2 more than twice a number is 429

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 429" 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 429.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 429

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 = 429

2x + 2 - 2 = 429 - 2
2x = 427

2x/2 = 427/2
x = 213.5

Answer = 213.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 213.5 is 427, and 2 more than 427 is in fact 429.
