2 more than twice a number is 532

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 532" 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 532.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 532

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 = 532

2x + 2 - 2 = 532 - 2
2x = 530

2x/2 = 530/2
x = 265

Answer = 265

The answer above is correct, because twice 265 is 530, and 2 more than 530 is in fact 532.
