9 more than twice a number is 832

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 832" 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 832.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 832

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 = 832

2x + 9 - 9 = 832 - 9
2x = 823

2x/2 = 823/2
x = 411.5

Answer = 411.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 411.5 is 823, and 9 more than 823 is in fact 832.
