2 more than twice a number is 566

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 566" 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 566.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 566

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 = 566

2x + 2 - 2 = 566 - 2
2x = 564

2x/2 = 564/2
x = 282

Answer = 282

The answer above is correct, because twice 282 is 564, and 2 more than 564 is in fact 566.
