3 more than twice a number is 322

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 322" 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 322.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 322

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 = 322

2x + 3 - 3 = 322 - 3
2x = 319

2x/2 = 319/2
x = 159.5

Answer = 159.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 159.5 is 319, and 3 more than 319 is in fact 322.
