8 more than twice a number is 892

The number (x) in: "8 more than twice a number is 892" 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 8, you get 892.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 8 = 892

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 8 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 8 = 892

2x + 8 - 8 = 892 - 8
2x = 884

2x/2 = 884/2
x = 442

Answer = 442

The answer above is correct, because twice 442 is 884, and 8 more than 884 is in fact 892.
