2 more than twice a number is 521

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 521" 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 521.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 521

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 = 521

2x + 2 - 2 = 521 - 2
2x = 519

2x/2 = 519/2
x = 259.5

Answer = 259.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 259.5 is 519, and 2 more than 519 is in fact 521.
