2 more than twice a number is 475

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 475" 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 475.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 475

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 = 475

2x + 2 - 2 = 475 - 2
2x = 473

2x/2 = 473/2
x = 236.5

Answer = 236.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 236.5 is 473, and 2 more than 473 is in fact 475.
