2 more than twice a number is 510

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 510" 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 510.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 510

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 = 510

2x + 2 - 2 = 510 - 2
2x = 508

2x/2 = 508/2
x = 254

Answer = 254

The answer above is correct, because twice 254 is 508, and 2 more than 508 is in fact 510.
