7 more than twice a number is 705

The number (x) in: "7 more than twice a number is 705" 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 705.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 7 = 705

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 = 705

2x + 7 - 7 = 705 - 7
2x = 698

2x/2 = 698/2
x = 349

Answer = 349

The answer above is correct, because twice 349 is 698, and 7 more than 698 is in fact 705.
