2 more than twice a number is 752

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 752" 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 752.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 752

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 = 752

2x + 2 - 2 = 752 - 2
2x = 750

2x/2 = 750/2
x = 375

Answer = 375

The answer above is correct, because twice 375 is 750, and 2 more than 750 is in fact 752.
