5 more than twice a number is 931

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 931" 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 931.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 931

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 = 931

2x + 5 - 5 = 931 - 5
2x = 926

2x/2 = 926/2
x = 463

Answer = 463

The answer above is correct, because twice 463 is 926, and 5 more than 926 is in fact 931.
