4 more than twice a number is 699

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 699" 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 699.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 699

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 = 699

2x + 4 - 4 = 699 - 4
2x = 695

2x/2 = 695/2
x = 347.5

Answer = 347.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 347.5 is 695, and 4 more than 695 is in fact 699.
