2 more than twice a number is 605

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 605" 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 605.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 605

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 = 605

2x + 2 - 2 = 605 - 2
2x = 603

2x/2 = 603/2
x = 301.5

Answer = 301.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 301.5 is 603, and 2 more than 603 is in fact 605.
