3 more than twice a number is 483

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 483" 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 483.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 483

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 = 483

2x + 3 - 3 = 483 - 3
2x = 480

2x/2 = 480/2
x = 240

Answer = 240

The answer above is correct, because twice 240 is 480, and 3 more than 480 is in fact 483.
