3 more than twice a number is 633

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 633" 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 633.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 633

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 = 633

2x + 3 - 3 = 633 - 3
2x = 630

2x/2 = 630/2
x = 315

Answer = 315

The answer above is correct, because twice 315 is 630, and 3 more than 630 is in fact 633.
