2 more than twice a number is 660

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 660" 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 660.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 660

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 = 660

2x + 2 - 2 = 660 - 2
2x = 658

2x/2 = 658/2
x = 329

Answer = 329

The answer above is correct, because twice 329 is 658, and 2 more than 658 is in fact 660.
