3 more than twice a number is 303

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 303" 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 303.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 303

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 = 303

2x + 3 - 3 = 303 - 3
2x = 300

2x/2 = 300/2
x = 150

Answer = 150

The answer above is correct, because twice 150 is 300, and 3 more than 300 is in fact 303.
