9 more than twice a number is 771

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 771" 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 771.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 771

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 = 771

2x + 9 - 9 = 771 - 9
2x = 762

2x/2 = 762/2
x = 381

Answer = 381

The answer above is correct, because twice 381 is 762, and 9 more than 762 is in fact 771.
