2 more than twice a number is 444

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 444" 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 444.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 444

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 = 444

2x + 2 - 2 = 444 - 2
2x = 442

2x/2 = 442/2
x = 221

Answer = 221

The answer above is correct, because twice 221 is 442, and 2 more than 442 is in fact 444.
