5 more than twice a number is 907

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 907" 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 907.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 907

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 = 907

2x + 5 - 5 = 907 - 5
2x = 902

2x/2 = 902/2
x = 451

Answer = 451

The answer above is correct, because twice 451 is 902, and 5 more than 902 is in fact 907.
