2 more than twice a number is 449

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 449" 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 449.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 449

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 = 449

2x + 2 - 2 = 449 - 2
2x = 447

2x/2 = 447/2
x = 223.5

Answer = 223.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 223.5 is 447, and 2 more than 447 is in fact 449.
