3 more than twice a number is 267

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 267" 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 267.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 267

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 = 267

2x + 3 - 3 = 267 - 3
2x = 264

2x/2 = 264/2
x = 132

Answer = 132

The answer above is correct, because twice 132 is 264, and 3 more than 264 is in fact 267.
