5 more than twice a number is 924

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 924" 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 924.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 924

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 = 924

2x + 5 - 5 = 924 - 5
2x = 919

2x/2 = 919/2
x = 459.5

Answer = 459.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 459.5 is 919, and 5 more than 919 is in fact 924.
