2 more than twice a number is 463

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 463" 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 463.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 463

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 = 463

2x + 2 - 2 = 463 - 2
2x = 461

2x/2 = 461/2
x = 230.5

Answer = 230.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 230.5 is 461, and 2 more than 461 is in fact 463.
