2 more than twice a number is 576

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 576" 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 576.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 576

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 = 576

2x + 2 - 2 = 576 - 2
2x = 574

2x/2 = 574/2
x = 287

Answer = 287

The answer above is correct, because twice 287 is 574, and 2 more than 574 is in fact 576.
