2 more than twice a number is 622

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 622" 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 622.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 622

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 = 622

2x + 2 - 2 = 622 - 2
2x = 620

2x/2 = 620/2
x = 310

Answer = 310

The answer above is correct, because twice 310 is 620, and 2 more than 620 is in fact 622.
