5 more than twice a number is 946

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 946" 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 946.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 946

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 = 946

2x + 5 - 5 = 946 - 5
2x = 941

2x/2 = 941/2
x = 470.5

Answer = 470.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 470.5 is 941, and 5 more than 941 is in fact 946.
