5 more than twice a number is 929

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 929" 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 929.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 929

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 = 929

2x + 5 - 5 = 929 - 5
2x = 924

2x/2 = 924/2
x = 462

Answer = 462

The answer above is correct, because twice 462 is 924, and 5 more than 924 is in fact 929.
