2 more than twice a number is 525

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 525" 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 525.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 525

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 = 525

2x + 2 - 2 = 525 - 2
2x = 523

2x/2 = 523/2
x = 261.5

Answer = 261.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 261.5 is 523, and 2 more than 523 is in fact 525.
