9 more than twice a number is 775

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 775" 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 775.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 775

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 = 775

2x + 9 - 9 = 775 - 9
2x = 766

2x/2 = 766/2
x = 383

Answer = 383

The answer above is correct, because twice 383 is 766, and 9 more than 766 is in fact 775.
