2 more than twice a number is 822

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 822" 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 822.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 822

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 = 822

2x + 2 - 2 = 822 - 2
2x = 820

2x/2 = 820/2
x = 410

Answer = 410

The answer above is correct, because twice 410 is 820, and 2 more than 820 is in fact 822.
