2 more than twice a number is 466

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 466" 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 466.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 466

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 = 466

2x + 2 - 2 = 466 - 2
2x = 464

2x/2 = 464/2
x = 232

Answer = 232

The answer above is correct, because twice 232 is 464, and 2 more than 464 is in fact 466.
