2 more than twice a number is 534

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 534" 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 534.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 534

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 = 534

2x + 2 - 2 = 534 - 2
2x = 532

2x/2 = 532/2
x = 266

Answer = 266

The answer above is correct, because twice 266 is 532, and 2 more than 532 is in fact 534.
