5 more than twice a number is 951

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 951" 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 951.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 951

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 = 951

2x + 5 - 5 = 951 - 5
2x = 946

2x/2 = 946/2
x = 473

Answer = 473

The answer above is correct, because twice 473 is 946, and 5 more than 946 is in fact 951.
