2 more than twice a number is 528

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 528" 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 528.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 528

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 = 528

2x + 2 - 2 = 528 - 2
2x = 526

2x/2 = 526/2
x = 263

Answer = 263

The answer above is correct, because twice 263 is 526, and 2 more than 526 is in fact 528.
