3 more than twice a number is 635

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 635" 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 635.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 635

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 = 635

2x + 3 - 3 = 635 - 3
2x = 632

2x/2 = 632/2
x = 316

Answer = 316

The answer above is correct, because twice 316 is 632, and 3 more than 632 is in fact 635.
