4 more than twice a number is 697

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 697" 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 697.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 697

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 = 697

2x + 4 - 4 = 697 - 4
2x = 693

2x/2 = 693/2
x = 346.5

Answer = 346.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 346.5 is 693, and 4 more than 693 is in fact 697.
