2 more than twice a number is 594

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 594" 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 594.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 594

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 = 594

2x + 2 - 2 = 594 - 2
2x = 592

2x/2 = 592/2
x = 296

Answer = 296

The answer above is correct, because twice 296 is 592, and 2 more than 592 is in fact 594.
