2 more than twice a number is 898

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 898" 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 898.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 898

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 = 898

2x + 2 - 2 = 898 - 2
2x = 896

2x/2 = 896/2
x = 448

Answer = 448

The answer above is correct, because twice 448 is 896, and 2 more than 896 is in fact 898.
