4 more than twice a number is 716

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 716" 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 716.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 716

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 = 716

2x + 4 - 4 = 716 - 4
2x = 712

2x/2 = 712/2
x = 356

Answer = 356

The answer above is correct, because twice 356 is 712, and 4 more than 712 is in fact 716.
