5 more than twice a number is 667

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 667" 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 667.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 667

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 = 667

2x + 5 - 5 = 667 - 5
2x = 662

2x/2 = 662/2
x = 331

Answer = 331

The answer above is correct, because twice 331 is 662, and 5 more than 662 is in fact 667.
