3 more than twice a number is 628

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 628" 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 628.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 628

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 = 628

2x + 3 - 3 = 628 - 3
2x = 625

2x/2 = 625/2
x = 312.5

Answer = 312.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 312.5 is 625, and 3 more than 625 is in fact 628.
