4 more than twice a number is 724

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 724" 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 724.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 724

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 = 724

2x + 4 - 4 = 724 - 4
2x = 720

2x/2 = 720/2
x = 360

Answer = 360

The answer above is correct, because twice 360 is 720, and 4 more than 720 is in fact 724.
