2 more than twice a number is 527

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 527" 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 527.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 527

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 = 527

2x + 2 - 2 = 527 - 2
2x = 525

2x/2 = 525/2
x = 262.5

Answer = 262.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 262.5 is 525, and 2 more than 525 is in fact 527.
