2 more than twice a number is 668

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 668" 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 668.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 668

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 = 668

2x + 2 - 2 = 668 - 2
2x = 666

2x/2 = 666/2
x = 333

Answer = 333

The answer above is correct, because twice 333 is 666, and 2 more than 666 is in fact 668.
