4 more than twice a number is 700

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 700" 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 700.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 700

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 = 700

2x + 4 - 4 = 700 - 4
2x = 696

2x/2 = 696/2
x = 348

Answer = 348

The answer above is correct, because twice 348 is 696, and 4 more than 696 is in fact 700.
