9 more than twice a number is 894

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 894" 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 894.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 894

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 = 894

2x + 9 - 9 = 894 - 9
2x = 885

2x/2 = 885/2
x = 442.5

Answer = 442.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 442.5 is 885, and 9 more than 885 is in fact 894.
