4 more than twice a number is 676

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 676" 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 676.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 676

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 = 676

2x + 4 - 4 = 676 - 4
2x = 672

2x/2 = 672/2
x = 336

Answer = 336

The answer above is correct, because twice 336 is 672, and 4 more than 672 is in fact 676.
