2 more than twice a number is 507

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 507" 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 507.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 507

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 = 507

2x + 2 - 2 = 507 - 2
2x = 505

2x/2 = 505/2
x = 252.5

Answer = 252.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 252.5 is 505, and 2 more than 505 is in fact 507.
