4 more than twice a number is 723

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 723" 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 723.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 723

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 = 723

2x + 4 - 4 = 723 - 4
2x = 719

2x/2 = 719/2
x = 359.5

Answer = 359.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 359.5 is 719, and 4 more than 719 is in fact 723.
