4 more than twice a number is 246

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 246" 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 246.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 246

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 = 246

2x + 4 - 4 = 246 - 4
2x = 242

2x/2 = 242/2
x = 121

Answer = 121

The answer above is correct, because twice 121 is 242, and 4 more than 242 is in fact 246.
