9 more than twice a number is 33

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 33" 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 9, you get 33.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 33

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 9 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 9 = 33

2x + 9 - 9 = 33 - 9
2x = 24

2x/2 = 24/2
x = 12

Answer = 12

The answer above is correct, because twice 12 is 24, and 9 more than 24 is in fact 33.
