2 more than twice a number is 602

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 602" 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 602.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 602

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 = 602

2x + 2 - 2 = 602 - 2
2x = 600

2x/2 = 600/2
x = 300

Answer = 300

The answer above is correct, because twice 300 is 600, and 2 more than 600 is in fact 602.
