2 more than twice a number is 526

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 526" 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 526.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 526

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 = 526

2x + 2 - 2 = 526 - 2
2x = 524

2x/2 = 524/2
x = 262

Answer = 262

The answer above is correct, because twice 262 is 524, and 2 more than 524 is in fact 526.
