2 more than twice a number is 575

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 575" 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 575.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 575

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 = 575

2x + 2 - 2 = 575 - 2
2x = 573

2x/2 = 573/2
x = 286.5

Answer = 286.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 286.5 is 573, and 2 more than 573 is in fact 575.
