9 more than twice a number is 781

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 781" 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 781.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 781

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 = 781

2x + 9 - 9 = 781 - 9
2x = 772

2x/2 = 772/2
x = 386

Answer = 386

The answer above is correct, because twice 386 is 772, and 9 more than 772 is in fact 781.
