2 more than twice a number is 598

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 598" 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 598.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 598

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 = 598

2x + 2 - 2 = 598 - 2
2x = 596

2x/2 = 596/2
x = 298

Answer = 298

The answer above is correct, because twice 298 is 596, and 2 more than 596 is in fact 598.
