3 more than twice a number is 294

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 294" 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 294.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 294

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 = 294

2x + 3 - 3 = 294 - 3
2x = 291

2x/2 = 291/2
x = 145.5

Answer = 145.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 145.5 is 291, and 3 more than 291 is in fact 294.
