3 more than twice a number is 269

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 269" 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 269.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 269

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 = 269

2x + 3 - 3 = 269 - 3
2x = 266

2x/2 = 266/2
x = 133

Answer = 133

The answer above is correct, because twice 133 is 266, and 3 more than 266 is in fact 269.
