3 more than twice a number is 337

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 337" 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 337.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 337

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 = 337

2x + 3 - 3 = 337 - 3
2x = 334

2x/2 = 334/2
x = 167

Answer = 167

The answer above is correct, because twice 167 is 334, and 3 more than 334 is in fact 337.
