2 more than twice a number is 458

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 458" 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 458.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 458

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 = 458

2x + 2 - 2 = 458 - 2
2x = 456

2x/2 = 456/2
x = 228

Answer = 228

The answer above is correct, because twice 228 is 456, and 2 more than 456 is in fact 458.
