<PRE><B>Question 536294</B>
Call the number x.&lt;P&gt;
Square root of 5 more than means add {{{sqrt(5)}}} to something.&lt;P&gt;
Add it to what?  More than twice the number.  That&#39;s 2x.&lt;P&gt;
{{{2x+sqrt(5)}}} is 7 means = 7.&lt;P&gt;
{{{2x+sqrt(5)=7}}}&lt;P&gt;
Subtract {{{sqrt(5)}}} from both sides.&lt;P&gt;
{{{2x=7-sqrt(5)}}}&lt;P&gt;
Divide both sides by 2.&lt;P&gt;
{{{x=(7-sqrt(5))/2 = 2.38196601}}}
