3 more than twice a number is 614

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 614" 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 614.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 614

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 = 614

2x + 3 - 3 = 614 - 3
2x = 611

2x/2 = 611/2
x = 305.5

Answer = 305.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 305.5 is 611, and 3 more than 611 is in fact 614.
