3 more than twice a number is 319

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 319" 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 319.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 319

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 = 319

2x + 3 - 3 = 319 - 3
2x = 316

2x/2 = 316/2
x = 158

Answer = 158

The answer above is correct, because twice 158 is 316, and 3 more than 316 is in fact 319.
