2 more than twice a number is 454

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 454" 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 454.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 454

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 = 454

2x + 2 - 2 = 454 - 2
2x = 452

2x/2 = 452/2
x = 226

Answer = 226

The answer above is correct, because twice 226 is 452, and 2 more than 452 is in fact 454.
