9 more than twice a number is 776

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 776" 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 776.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 776

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 = 776

2x + 9 - 9 = 776 - 9
2x = 767

2x/2 = 767/2
x = 383.5

Answer = 383.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 383.5 is 767, and 9 more than 767 is in fact 776.
