2 more than twice a number is 766

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 766" 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 766.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 766

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 = 766

2x + 2 - 2 = 766 - 2
2x = 764

2x/2 = 764/2
x = 382

Answer = 382

The answer above is correct, because twice 382 is 764, and 2 more than 764 is in fact 766.
