2 more than twice a number is 451

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 451" 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 451.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 451

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 = 451

2x + 2 - 2 = 451 - 2
2x = 449

2x/2 = 449/2
x = 224.5

Answer = 224.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 224.5 is 449, and 2 more than 449 is in fact 451.
