4 more than twice a number is 696

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 696" 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 696.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 696

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 = 696

2x + 4 - 4 = 696 - 4
2x = 692

2x/2 = 692/2
x = 346

Answer = 346

The answer above is correct, because twice 346 is 692, and 4 more than 692 is in fact 696.
