4 more than twice a number is 719

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 719" 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 719.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 719

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 = 719

2x + 4 - 4 = 719 - 4
2x = 715

2x/2 = 715/2
x = 357.5

Answer = 357.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 357.5 is 715, and 4 more than 715 is in fact 719.
