3 more than twice a number is 632

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 632" 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 632.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 632

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 = 632

2x + 3 - 3 = 632 - 3
2x = 629

2x/2 = 629/2
x = 314.5

Answer = 314.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 314.5 is 629, and 3 more than 629 is in fact 632.
