2 more than twice a number is 474

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 474" 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 474.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 474

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 = 474

2x + 2 - 2 = 474 - 2
2x = 472

2x/2 = 472/2
x = 236

Answer = 236

The answer above is correct, because twice 236 is 472, and 2 more than 472 is in fact 474.
