5 more than twice a number is 915

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 915" 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 915.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 915

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 = 915

2x + 5 - 5 = 915 - 5
2x = 910

2x/2 = 910/2
x = 455

Answer = 455

The answer above is correct, because twice 455 is 910, and 5 more than 910 is in fact 915.
