2 more than twice a number is 803

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 803" 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 803.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 803

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 = 803

2x + 2 - 2 = 803 - 2
2x = 801

2x/2 = 801/2
x = 400.5

Answer = 400.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 400.5 is 801, and 2 more than 801 is in fact 803.
