4 more than twice a number is 653

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 653" 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 653.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 653

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 = 653

2x + 4 - 4 = 653 - 4
2x = 649

2x/2 = 649/2
x = 324.5

Answer = 324.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 324.5 is 649, and 4 more than 649 is in fact 653.
