2 more than twice a number is 548

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 548" 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 548.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 548

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 = 548

2x + 2 - 2 = 548 - 2
2x = 546

2x/2 = 546/2
x = 273

Answer = 273

The answer above is correct, because twice 273 is 546, and 2 more than 546 is in fact 548.
