4 more than twice a number is 206

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 206" 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 206.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 206

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 = 206

2x + 4 - 4 = 206 - 4
2x = 202

2x/2 = 202/2
x = 101

Answer = 101

The answer above is correct, because twice 101 is 202, and 4 more than 202 is in fact 206.
