3 more than twice a number is 626

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 626" 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 626.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 626

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 = 626

2x + 3 - 3 = 626 - 3
2x = 623

2x/2 = 623/2
x = 311.5

Answer = 311.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 311.5 is 623, and 3 more than 623 is in fact 626.
