6 more than twice a number is 63

The number (x) in: "6 more than twice a number is 63" 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 6, you get 63.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 6 = 63

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 6 = 63

2x + 6 - 6 = 63 - 6
2x = 57

2x/2 = 57/2
x = 28.5

Answer = 28.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 28.5 is 57, and 6 more than 57 is in fact 63.
