3 more than twice a number is 625

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 625" 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 625.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 625

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 = 625

2x + 3 - 3 = 625 - 3
2x = 622

2x/2 = 622/2
x = 311

Answer = 311

The answer above is correct, because twice 311 is 622, and 3 more than 622 is in fact 625.
