9 more than twice a number is 777

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 777" 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 777.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 777

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 = 777

2x + 9 - 9 = 777 - 9
2x = 768

2x/2 = 768/2
x = 384

Answer = 384

The answer above is correct, because twice 384 is 768, and 9 more than 768 is in fact 777.
