2 more than twice a number is 600

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 600" 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 600.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 600

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 = 600

2x + 2 - 2 = 600 - 2
2x = 598

2x/2 = 598/2
x = 299

Answer = 299

The answer above is correct, because twice 299 is 598, and 2 more than 598 is in fact 600.
