4 more than twice a number is 701

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 701" 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 701.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 701

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 = 701

2x + 4 - 4 = 701 - 4
2x = 697

2x/2 = 697/2
x = 348.5

Answer = 348.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 348.5 is 697, and 4 more than 697 is in fact 701.
