5 more than twice a number is 937

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 937" 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 937.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 937

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 = 937

2x + 5 - 5 = 937 - 5
2x = 932

2x/2 = 932/2
x = 466

Answer = 466

The answer above is correct, because twice 466 is 932, and 5 more than 932 is in fact 937.
