2 more than twice a number is 522

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 522" 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 522.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 522

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 = 522

2x + 2 - 2 = 522 - 2
2x = 520

2x/2 = 520/2
x = 260

Answer = 260

The answer above is correct, because twice 260 is 520, and 2 more than 520 is in fact 522.
