7 more than twice a number is 197

The number (x) in: "7 more than twice a number is 197" 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 7, you get 197.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 197

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 7 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 7 = 197

2x + 7 - 7 = 197 - 7
2x = 190

2x/2 = 190/2
x = 95

Answer = 95

The answer above is correct, because twice 95 is 190, and 7 more than 190 is in fact 197.
