5 more than twice a number is 911

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 911" 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 911.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 911

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 = 911

2x + 5 - 5 = 911 - 5
2x = 906

2x/2 = 906/2
x = 453

Answer = 453

The answer above is correct, because twice 453 is 906, and 5 more than 906 is in fact 911.
