5 more than twice a number is 682

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 682" 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 682.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 682

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 = 682

2x + 5 - 5 = 682 - 5
2x = 677

2x/2 = 677/2
x = 338.5

Answer = 338.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 338.5 is 677, and 5 more than 677 is in fact 682.
