5 more than twice a number is 932

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 932" 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 932.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 932

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 = 932

2x + 5 - 5 = 932 - 5
2x = 927

2x/2 = 927/2
x = 463.5

Answer = 463.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 463.5 is 927, and 5 more than 927 is in fact 932.
