3 more than twice a number is 709

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 709" 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 709.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 709

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 = 709

2x + 3 - 3 = 709 - 3
2x = 706

2x/2 = 706/2
x = 353

Answer = 353

The answer above is correct, because twice 353 is 706, and 3 more than 706 is in fact 709.
