3 more than twice a number is 883

The number (x) in: "3 more than twice a number is 883" 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 883.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 3 = 883

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 = 883

2x + 3 - 3 = 883 - 3
2x = 880

2x/2 = 880/2
x = 440

Answer = 440

The answer above is correct, because twice 440 is 880, and 3 more than 880 is in fact 883.
