9 more than twice a number is 847

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 847" 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 847.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 847

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 = 847

2x + 9 - 9 = 847 - 9
2x = 838

2x/2 = 838/2
x = 419

Answer = 419

The answer above is correct, because twice 419 is 838, and 9 more than 838 is in fact 847.
