5 more than twice a number is 930

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 930" 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 930.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 930

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 = 930

2x + 5 - 5 = 930 - 5
2x = 925

2x/2 = 925/2
x = 462.5

Answer = 462.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 462.5 is 925, and 5 more than 925 is in fact 930.
