5 more than twice a number is 934

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 934" 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 934.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 934

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 = 934

2x + 5 - 5 = 934 - 5
2x = 929

2x/2 = 929/2
x = 464.5

Answer = 464.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 464.5 is 929, and 5 more than 929 is in fact 934.
