2 more than twice a number is 479

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 479" 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 479.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 479

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 = 479

2x + 2 - 2 = 479 - 2
2x = 477

2x/2 = 477/2
x = 238.5

Answer = 238.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 238.5 is 477, and 2 more than 477 is in fact 479.
