9 more than twice a number is 841

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 841" 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 841.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 841

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 = 841

2x + 9 - 9 = 841 - 9
2x = 832

2x/2 = 832/2
x = 416

Answer = 416

The answer above is correct, because twice 416 is 832, and 9 more than 832 is in fact 841.
