4 more than twice a number is 715

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 715" 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 715.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 715

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 = 715

2x + 4 - 4 = 715 - 4
2x = 711

2x/2 = 711/2
x = 355.5

Answer = 355.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 355.5 is 711, and 4 more than 711 is in fact 715.
