2 more than twice a number is 611

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 611" 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 611.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 611

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 = 611

2x + 2 - 2 = 611 - 2
2x = 609

2x/2 = 609/2
x = 304.5

Answer = 304.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 304.5 is 609, and 2 more than 609 is in fact 611.
