2 more than twice a number is 546

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 546" 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 546.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 546

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 = 546

2x + 2 - 2 = 546 - 2
2x = 544

2x/2 = 544/2
x = 272

Answer = 272

The answer above is correct, because twice 272 is 544, and 2 more than 544 is in fact 546.
