3 more than twice a number is 215

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 215" 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 215.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 215

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 = 215

2x + 3 - 3 = 215 - 3
2x = 212

2x/2 = 212/2
x = 106

Answer = 106

The answer above is correct, because twice 106 is 212, and 3 more than 212 is in fact 215.
