3 more than twice a number is 619

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 619" 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 619.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 619

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 = 619

2x + 3 - 3 = 619 - 3
2x = 616

2x/2 = 616/2
x = 308

Answer = 308

The answer above is correct, because twice 308 is 616, and 3 more than 616 is in fact 619.
