5 more than twice a number is 750

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 750" 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 750.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 750

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 = 750

2x + 5 - 5 = 750 - 5
2x = 745

2x/2 = 745/2
x = 372.5

Answer = 372.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 372.5 is 745, and 5 more than 745 is in fact 750.
