2 more than twice a number is 571

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 571" 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 571.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 571

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 = 571

2x + 2 - 2 = 571 - 2
2x = 569

2x/2 = 569/2
x = 284.5

Answer = 284.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 284.5 is 569, and 2 more than 569 is in fact 571.
