7 more than twice a number is 203

The number (x) in: "7 more than twice a number is 203" 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 203.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 203

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 = 203

2x + 7 - 7 = 203 - 7
2x = 196

2x/2 = 196/2
x = 98

Answer = 98

The answer above is correct, because twice 98 is 196, and 7 more than 196 is in fact 203.
