2 more than twice a number is 584

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 584" 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 584.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 584

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 = 584

2x + 2 - 2 = 584 - 2
2x = 582

2x/2 = 582/2
x = 291

Answer = 291

The answer above is correct, because twice 291 is 582, and 2 more than 582 is in fact 584.
