2 more than twice a number is 535

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 535" 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 535.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 535

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 = 535

2x + 2 - 2 = 535 - 2
2x = 533

2x/2 = 533/2
x = 266.5

Answer = 266.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 266.5 is 533, and 2 more than 533 is in fact 535.
