2 more than twice a number is 545

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 545" 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 545.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 545

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 = 545

2x + 2 - 2 = 545 - 2
2x = 543

2x/2 = 543/2
x = 271.5

Answer = 271.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 271.5 is 543, and 2 more than 543 is in fact 545.
