3 more than twice a number is 615

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 615" 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 615.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 615

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 = 615

2x + 3 - 3 = 615 - 3
2x = 612

2x/2 = 612/2
x = 306

Answer = 306

The answer above is correct, because twice 306 is 612, and 3 more than 612 is in fact 615.
