7 more than twice a number is 211

The number (x) in: "7 more than twice a number is 211" 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 211.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 211

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 = 211

2x + 7 - 7 = 211 - 7
2x = 204

2x/2 = 204/2
x = 102

Answer = 102

The answer above is correct, because twice 102 is 204, and 7 more than 204 is in fact 211.
