2 more than twice a number is 465

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 465" 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 465.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 465

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 = 465

2x + 2 - 2 = 465 - 2
2x = 463

2x/2 = 463/2
x = 231.5

Answer = 231.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 231.5 is 463, and 2 more than 463 is in fact 465.
