3 more than twice a number is 222

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 222" 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 222.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 222

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 = 222

2x + 3 - 3 = 222 - 3
2x = 219

2x/2 = 219/2
x = 109.5

Answer = 109.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 109.5 is 219, and 3 more than 219 is in fact 222.
