2 more than twice a number is 945

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 945" 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 945.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 945

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 = 945

2x + 2 - 2 = 945 - 2
2x = 943

2x/2 = 943/2
x = 471.5

Answer = 471.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 471.5 is 943, and 2 more than 943 is in fact 945.
