4 more than twice a number is 704

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 704" 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 704.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 704

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 = 704

2x + 4 - 4 = 704 - 4
2x = 700

2x/2 = 700/2
x = 350

Answer = 350

The answer above is correct, because twice 350 is 700, and 4 more than 700 is in fact 704.
