4 more than twice a number is 649

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 649" 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 649.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 649

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 = 649

2x + 4 - 4 = 649 - 4
2x = 645

2x/2 = 645/2
x = 322.5

Answer = 322.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 322.5 is 645, and 4 more than 645 is in fact 649.
