2 more than twice a number is 712

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 712" 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 712.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 712

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 = 712

2x + 2 - 2 = 712 - 2
2x = 710

2x/2 = 710/2
x = 355

Answer = 355

The answer above is correct, because twice 355 is 710, and 2 more than 710 is in fact 712.
