2 more than twice a number is 530

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 530" 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 530.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 530

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 = 530

2x + 2 - 2 = 530 - 2
2x = 528

2x/2 = 528/2
x = 264

Answer = 264

The answer above is correct, because twice 264 is 528, and 2 more than 528 is in fact 530.
