7 more than twice a number is 213

The number (x) in: "7 more than twice a number is 213" 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 213.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 213

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 = 213

2x + 7 - 7 = 213 - 7
2x = 206

2x/2 = 206/2
x = 103

Answer = 103

The answer above is correct, because twice 103 is 206, and 7 more than 206 is in fact 213.
