4 more than twice a number is 184

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 184" 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 4, you get 184.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 184

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 4 = 184

2x + 4 - 4 = 184 - 4
2x = 180

2x/2 = 180/2
x = 90

Answer = 90

The answer above is correct, because twice 90 is 180, and 4 more than 180 is in fact 184.
