2 more than twice a number is 823

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 823" 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 823.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 823

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 = 823

2x + 2 - 2 = 823 - 2
2x = 821

2x/2 = 821/2
x = 410.5

Answer = 410.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 410.5 is 821, and 2 more than 821 is in fact 823.
