2 more than twice a number is 760

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 760" 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 760.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 760

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 = 760

2x + 2 - 2 = 760 - 2
2x = 758

2x/2 = 758/2
x = 379

Answer = 379

The answer above is correct, because twice 379 is 758, and 2 more than 758 is in fact 760.
