2 more than twice a number is 456

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 456" 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 456.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 456

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 = 456

2x + 2 - 2 = 456 - 2
2x = 454

2x/2 = 454/2
x = 227

Answer = 227

The answer above is correct, because twice 227 is 454, and 2 more than 454 is in fact 456.
