2 more than twice a number is 916

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 916" 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 916.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 916

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 = 916

2x + 2 - 2 = 916 - 2
2x = 914

2x/2 = 914/2
x = 457

Answer = 457

The answer above is correct, because twice 457 is 914, and 2 more than 914 is in fact 916.
