5 more than twice a number is 928

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 928" 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 928.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 928

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 = 928

2x + 5 - 5 = 928 - 5
2x = 923

2x/2 = 923/2
x = 461.5

Answer = 461.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 461.5 is 923, and 5 more than 923 is in fact 928.
