2 more than twice a number is 608

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 608" 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 608.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 608

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 = 608

2x + 2 - 2 = 608 - 2
2x = 606

2x/2 = 606/2
x = 303

Answer = 303

The answer above is correct, because twice 303 is 606, and 2 more than 606 is in fact 608.
