8 more than twice a number is 616

The number (x) in: "8 more than twice a number is 616" 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 8, you get 616.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 8 = 616

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 8 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 8 = 616

2x + 8 - 8 = 616 - 8
2x = 608

2x/2 = 608/2
x = 304

Answer = 304

The answer above is correct, because twice 304 is 608, and 8 more than 608 is in fact 616.
