5 more than twice a number is 923

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 923" 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 923.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 923

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 = 923

2x + 5 - 5 = 923 - 5
2x = 918

2x/2 = 918/2
x = 459

Answer = 459

The answer above is correct, because twice 459 is 918, and 5 more than 918 is in fact 923.
