2 more than twice a number is 815

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 815" 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 815.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 815

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 = 815

2x + 2 - 2 = 815 - 2
2x = 813

2x/2 = 813/2
x = 406.5

Answer = 406.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 406.5 is 813, and 2 more than 813 is in fact 815.
