2 more than twice a number is 524

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 524" 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 524.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 524

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 = 524

2x + 2 - 2 = 524 - 2
2x = 522

2x/2 = 522/2
x = 261

Answer = 261

The answer above is correct, because twice 261 is 522, and 2 more than 522 is in fact 524.
