3 more than twice a number is 634

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 634" 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 634.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 634

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 = 634

2x + 3 - 3 = 634 - 3
2x = 631

2x/2 = 631/2
x = 315.5

Answer = 315.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 315.5 is 631, and 3 more than 631 is in fact 634.
