The number (x) in: "7 more than twice a number is 325" 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 325.
To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 325
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 = 325
2x + 7 - 7 = 325 - 7
2x = 318
2x/2 = 318/2
x = 159
Answer = 159
The answer above is correct, because twice 159 is 318, and 7 more than 318 is in fact 325.
