5 more than twice a number is 967

The number (x) in: "5 more than twice a number is 967" 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 967.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 5 = 967

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 = 967

2x + 5 - 5 = 967 - 5
2x = 962

2x/2 = 962/2
x = 481

Answer = 481

The answer above is correct, because twice 481 is 962, and 5 more than 962 is in fact 967.
