2 more than twice a number is 730

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 730" 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 730.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 730

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 = 730

2x + 2 - 2 = 730 - 2
2x = 728

2x/2 = 728/2
x = 364

Answer = 364

The answer above is correct, because twice 364 is 728, and 2 more than 728 is in fact 730.
