9 more than twice a number is 754

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 754" 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 754.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 754

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 = 754

2x + 9 - 9 = 754 - 9
2x = 745

2x/2 = 745/2
x = 372.5

Answer = 372.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 372.5 is 745, and 9 more than 745 is in fact 754.
