3 more than twice a number is 307

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 307" 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 307.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 307

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 = 307

2x + 3 - 3 = 307 - 3
2x = 304

2x/2 = 304/2
x = 152

Answer = 152

The answer above is correct, because twice 152 is 304, and 3 more than 304 is in fact 307.
