2 more than twice a number is 477




The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 477" 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 477.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 477

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 = 477

2x + 2 - 2 = 477 - 2
2x = 475

2x/2 = 475/2
x = 237.5

Answer = 237.5


The answer above is correct, because twice 237.5 is 475, and 2 more than 475 is in fact 477.
