2 more than twice a number is 544

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 544" 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 544.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 544

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 = 544

2x + 2 - 2 = 544 - 2
2x = 542

2x/2 = 542/2
x = 271

Answer = 271

The answer above is correct, because twice 271 is 542, and 2 more than 542 is in fact 544.
