2 more than twice a number is 666

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 666" 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 666.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 666

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 = 666

2x + 2 - 2 = 666 - 2
2x = 664

2x/2 = 664/2
x = 332

Answer = 332

The answer above is correct, because twice 332 is 664, and 2 more than 664 is in fact 666.
