2 more than twice a number is 692

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 692" 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 692.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 692

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 = 692

2x + 2 - 2 = 692 - 2
2x = 690

2x/2 = 690/2
x = 345

Answer = 345

The answer above is correct, because twice 345 is 690, and 2 more than 690 is in fact 692.
