5 more than twice a number is 909

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 909" 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 909.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 909

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 = 909

2x + 5 - 5 = 909 - 5
2x = 904

2x/2 = 904/2
x = 452

Answer = 452

The answer above is correct, because twice 452 is 904, and 5 more than 904 is in fact 909.
