2 more than twice a number is 483




The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 483" 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 483.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 483

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 = 483

2x + 2 - 2 = 483 - 2
2x = 481

2x/2 = 481/2
x = 240.5

Answer = 240.5


The answer above is correct, because twice 240.5 is 481, and 2 more than 481 is in fact 483.
