4 more than twice a number is 693

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 693" 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 693.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 693

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 = 693

2x + 4 - 4 = 693 - 4
2x = 689

2x/2 = 689/2
x = 344.5

Answer = 344.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 344.5 is 689, and 4 more than 689 is in fact 693.
