4 more than twice a number is 673

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 673" 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 673.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 673

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 = 673

2x + 4 - 4 = 673 - 4
2x = 669

2x/2 = 669/2
x = 334.5

Answer = 334.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 334.5 is 669, and 4 more than 669 is in fact 673.
