2 more than twice a number is 464

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 464" 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 464.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 464

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 = 464

2x + 2 - 2 = 464 - 2
2x = 462

2x/2 = 462/2
x = 231

Answer = 231

The answer above is correct, because twice 231 is 462, and 2 more than 462 is in fact 464.
