2 more than twice a number is 748

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 748" 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 748.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 748

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 = 748

2x + 2 - 2 = 748 - 2
2x = 746

2x/2 = 746/2
x = 373

Answer = 373

The answer above is correct, because twice 373 is 746, and 2 more than 746 is in fact 748.
