9 more than twice a number is 797

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 797" 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 797.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 797

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 = 797

2x + 9 - 9 = 797 - 9
2x = 788

2x/2 = 788/2
x = 394

Answer = 394

The answer above is correct, because twice 394 is 788, and 9 more than 788 is in fact 797.
