5 more than twice a number is 910

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 910" 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 910.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 910

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 = 910

2x + 5 - 5 = 910 - 5
2x = 905

2x/2 = 905/2
x = 452.5

Answer = 452.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 452.5 is 905, and 5 more than 905 is in fact 910.
