2 more than twice a number is 597

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 597" 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 597.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 597

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 = 597

2x + 2 - 2 = 597 - 2
2x = 595

2x/2 = 595/2
x = 297.5

Answer = 297.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 297.5 is 595, and 2 more than 595 is in fact 597.
