2 more than twice a number is 506

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 506" 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 506.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 506

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 = 506

2x + 2 - 2 = 506 - 2
2x = 504

2x/2 = 504/2
x = 252

Answer = 252

The answer above is correct, because twice 252 is 504, and 2 more than 504 is in fact 506.
