5 more than twice a number is 753

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 753" 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 753.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 753

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 = 753

2x + 5 - 5 = 753 - 5
2x = 748

2x/2 = 748/2
x = 374

Answer = 374

The answer above is correct, because twice 374 is 748, and 5 more than 748 is in fact 753.
