9 more than twice a number is 97

The number (x) in: "9 more than twice a number is 97" 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 97.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 9 = 97

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 = 97

2x + 9 - 9 = 97 - 9
2x = 88

2x/2 = 88/2
x = 44

Answer = 44

The answer above is correct, because twice 44 is 88, and 9 more than 88 is in fact 97.
