5 more than twice a number is 918

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 918" 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 918.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 918

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 = 918

2x + 5 - 5 = 918 - 5
2x = 913

2x/2 = 913/2
x = 456.5

Answer = 456.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 456.5 is 913, and 5 more than 913 is in fact 918.
