2 more than twice a number is 563

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 563" 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 563.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 563

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 = 563

2x + 2 - 2 = 563 - 2
2x = 561

2x/2 = 561/2
x = 280.5

Answer = 280.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 280.5 is 561, and 2 more than 561 is in fact 563.
