9 more than twice a number is 827

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 827" 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 827.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 827

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 = 827

2x + 9 - 9 = 827 - 9
2x = 818

2x/2 = 818/2
x = 409

Answer = 409

The answer above is correct, because twice 409 is 818, and 9 more than 818 is in fact 827.
