9 more than twice a number is 768

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 768" 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 768.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 768

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 = 768

2x + 9 - 9 = 768 - 9
2x = 759

2x/2 = 759/2
x = 379.5

Answer = 379.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 379.5 is 759, and 9 more than 759 is in fact 768.
