2 more than twice a number is 802

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 802" 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 802.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 802

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 = 802

2x + 2 - 2 = 802 - 2
2x = 800

2x/2 = 800/2
x = 400

Answer = 400

The answer above is correct, because twice 400 is 800, and 2 more than 800 is in fact 802.
