4 more than twice a number is 703

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 703" 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 703.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 703

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 = 703

2x + 4 - 4 = 703 - 4
2x = 699

2x/2 = 699/2
x = 349.5

Answer = 349.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 349.5 is 699, and 4 more than 699 is in fact 703.
