2 more than twice a number is 541

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 541" 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 541.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 541

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 = 541

2x + 2 - 2 = 541 - 2
2x = 539

2x/2 = 539/2
x = 269.5

Answer = 269.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 269.5 is 539, and 2 more than 539 is in fact 541.
