5 more than twice a number is 925

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 925" 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 925.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 925

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 = 925

2x + 5 - 5 = 925 - 5
2x = 920

2x/2 = 920/2
x = 460

Answer = 460

The answer above is correct, because twice 460 is 920, and 5 more than 920 is in fact 925.
