9 more than twice a number is 769

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 769" 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 769.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 769

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 = 769

2x + 9 - 9 = 769 - 9
2x = 760

2x/2 = 760/2
x = 380

Answer = 380

The answer above is correct, because twice 380 is 760, and 9 more than 760 is in fact 769.
