9 more than twice a number is 782

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 782" 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 782.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 782

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 = 782

2x + 9 - 9 = 782 - 9
2x = 773

2x/2 = 773/2
x = 386.5

Answer = 386.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 386.5 is 773, and 9 more than 773 is in fact 782.
