2 more than twice a number is 574

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 574" 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 574.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 574

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 = 574

2x + 2 - 2 = 574 - 2
2x = 572

2x/2 = 572/2
x = 286

Answer = 286

The answer above is correct, because twice 286 is 572, and 2 more than 572 is in fact 574.
