2 more than twice a number is 450

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 450" 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 450.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 450

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 = 450

2x + 2 - 2 = 450 - 2
2x = 448

2x/2 = 448/2
x = 224

Answer = 224

The answer above is correct, because twice 224 is 448, and 2 more than 448 is in fact 450.
