3 more than twice a number is 371

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 371" 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 371.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 371

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 = 371

2x + 3 - 3 = 371 - 3
2x = 368

2x/2 = 368/2
x = 184

Answer = 184

The answer above is correct, because twice 184 is 368, and 3 more than 368 is in fact 371.
