2 more than twice a number is 547

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 547" 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 547.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 547

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 = 547

2x + 2 - 2 = 547 - 2
2x = 545

2x/2 = 545/2
x = 272.5

Answer = 272.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 272.5 is 545, and 2 more than 545 is in fact 547.
