9 more than twice a number is 931

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 931" 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 931.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 931

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 = 931

2x + 9 - 9 = 931 - 9
2x = 922

2x/2 = 922/2
x = 461

Answer = 461

The answer above is correct, because twice 461 is 922, and 9 more than 922 is in fact 931.
