3 more than twice a number is 377

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 377" 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 377.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 377

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 = 377

2x + 3 - 3 = 377 - 3
2x = 374

2x/2 = 374/2
x = 187

Answer = 187

The answer above is correct, because twice 187 is 374, and 3 more than 374 is in fact 377.
