5 more than twice a number is 921

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 921" 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 921.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 921

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 = 921

2x + 5 - 5 = 921 - 5
2x = 916

2x/2 = 916/2
x = 458

Answer = 458

The answer above is correct, because twice 458 is 916, and 5 more than 916 is in fact 921.
