4 more than twice a number is 207

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 207" 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 207.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 207

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 = 207

2x + 4 - 4 = 207 - 4
2x = 203

2x/2 = 203/2
x = 101.5

Answer = 101.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 101.5 is 203, and 4 more than 203 is in fact 207.
