4 more than twice a number is 654

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 654" 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 654.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 654

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 = 654

2x + 4 - 4 = 654 - 4
2x = 650

2x/2 = 650/2
x = 325

Answer = 325

The answer above is correct, because twice 325 is 650, and 4 more than 650 is in fact 654.
