The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 476" 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 476.
To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 476
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 = 476
2x + 2 - 2 = 476 - 2
2x = 474
2x/2 = 474/2
x = 237
Answer = 237
The answer above is correct, because twice 237 is 474, and 2 more than 474 is in fact 476.
