2 more than twice a number is 460

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 460" 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 460.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 460

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 = 460

2x + 2 - 2 = 460 - 2
2x = 458

2x/2 = 458/2
x = 229

Answer = 229

The answer above is correct, because twice 229 is 458, and 2 more than 458 is in fact 460.
