5 more than twice a number is 954

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 954" 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 954.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 954

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 = 954

2x + 5 - 5 = 954 - 5
2x = 949

2x/2 = 949/2
x = 474.5

Answer = 474.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 474.5 is 949, and 5 more than 949 is in fact 954.
