2 more than twice a number is 567

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 567" 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 567.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 567

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 = 567

2x + 2 - 2 = 567 - 2
2x = 565

2x/2 = 565/2
x = 282.5

Answer = 282.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 282.5 is 565, and 2 more than 565 is in fact 567.
