2 more than twice a number is 437

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 437" 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 437.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 437

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 = 437

2x + 2 - 2 = 437 - 2
2x = 435

2x/2 = 435/2
x = 217.5

Answer = 217.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 217.5 is 435, and 2 more than 435 is in fact 437.
