2 more than twice a number is 654

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 654" 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 654.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 654

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 = 654

2x + 2 - 2 = 654 - 2
2x = 652

2x/2 = 652/2
x = 326

Answer = 326

The answer above is correct, because twice 326 is 652, and 2 more than 652 is in fact 654.
