9 more than twice a number is 783

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 783" 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 783.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 783

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 = 783

2x + 9 - 9 = 783 - 9
2x = 774

2x/2 = 774/2
x = 387

Answer = 387

The answer above is correct, because twice 387 is 774, and 9 more than 774 is in fact 783.
