2 more than twice a number is 445

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 445" 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 445.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 445

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 = 445

2x + 2 - 2 = 445 - 2
2x = 443

2x/2 = 443/2
x = 221.5

Answer = 221.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 221.5 is 443, and 2 more than 443 is in fact 445.
