2 more than twice a number is 704

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 704" 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 704.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 704

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 = 704

2x + 2 - 2 = 704 - 2
2x = 702

2x/2 = 702/2
x = 351

Answer = 351

The answer above is correct, because twice 351 is 702, and 2 more than 702 is in fact 704.
