3 more than twice a number is 182

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 182" 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 3, you get 182.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 182

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 3 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 3 = 182

2x + 3 - 3 = 182 - 3
2x = 179

2x/2 = 179/2
x = 89.5

Answer = 89.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 89.5 is 179, and 3 more than 179 is in fact 182.
