5 more than twice a number is 895

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 895" 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 895.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 895

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 = 895

2x + 5 - 5 = 895 - 5
2x = 890

2x/2 = 890/2
x = 445

Answer = 445

The answer above is correct, because twice 445 is 890, and 5 more than 890 is in fact 895.
