5 more than twice a number is 935

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 935" 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 935.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 935

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 = 935

2x + 5 - 5 = 935 - 5
2x = 930

2x/2 = 930/2
x = 465

Answer = 465

The answer above is correct, because twice 465 is 930, and 5 more than 930 is in fact 935.
