5 more than twice a number is 933

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 933" 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 933.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 933

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 = 933

2x + 5 - 5 = 933 - 5
2x = 928

2x/2 = 928/2
x = 464

Answer = 464

The answer above is correct, because twice 464 is 928, and 5 more than 928 is in fact 933.
