2 more than twice a number is 607

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 607" 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 607.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 607

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 = 607

2x + 2 - 2 = 607 - 2
2x = 605

2x/2 = 605/2
x = 302.5

Answer = 302.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 302.5 is 605, and 2 more than 605 is in fact 607.
