5 more than twice a number is 629

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 629" 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 5, you get 629.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 629

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 5 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 5 = 629

2x + 5 - 5 = 629 - 5
2x = 624

2x/2 = 624/2
x = 312

Answer = 312

The answer above is correct, because twice 312 is 624, and 5 more than 624 is in fact 629.
