4 more than twice a number is 698

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 698" 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 698.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 698

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 = 698

2x + 4 - 4 = 698 - 4
2x = 694

2x/2 = 694/2
x = 347

Answer = 347

The answer above is correct, because twice 347 is 694, and 4 more than 694 is in fact 698.
