5 more than twice a number is 941

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 941" 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 941.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 941

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 = 941

2x + 5 - 5 = 941 - 5
2x = 936

2x/2 = 936/2
x = 468

Answer = 468

The answer above is correct, because twice 468 is 936, and 5 more than 936 is in fact 941.
