2 more than twice a number is 459

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 459" 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 459.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 459

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 = 459

2x + 2 - 2 = 459 - 2
2x = 457

2x/2 = 457/2
x = 228.5

Answer = 228.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 228.5 is 457, and 2 more than 457 is in fact 459.
