2 more than twice a number is 606

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 606" 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 606.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 606

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 = 606

2x + 2 - 2 = 606 - 2
2x = 604

2x/2 = 604/2
x = 302

Answer = 302

The answer above is correct, because twice 302 is 604, and 2 more than 604 is in fact 606.
