3 more than twice a number is 627

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 627" 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 627.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 627

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 = 627

2x + 3 - 3 = 627 - 3
2x = 624

2x/2 = 624/2
x = 312

Answer = 312

The answer above is correct, because twice 312 is 624, and 3 more than 624 is in fact 627.
