2 more than twice a number is 484

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 484" 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 484.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 484

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 = 484

2x + 2 - 2 = 484 - 2
2x = 482

2x/2 = 482/2
x = 241

Answer = 241

The answer above is correct, because twice 241 is 482, and 2 more than 482 is in fact 484.
