2 more than twice a number is 603

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 603" 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 603.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 603

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 = 603

2x + 2 - 2 = 603 - 2
2x = 601

2x/2 = 601/2
x = 300.5

Answer = 300.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 300.5 is 601, and 2 more than 601 is in fact 603.
