5 more than twice a number is 675

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 675" 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 675.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 675

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 = 675

2x + 5 - 5 = 675 - 5
2x = 670

2x/2 = 670/2
x = 335

Answer = 335

The answer above is correct, because twice 335 is 670, and 5 more than 670 is in fact 675.
