4 more than twice a number is 725

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 725" 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 725.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 725

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 = 725

2x + 4 - 4 = 725 - 4
2x = 721

2x/2 = 721/2
x = 360.5

Answer = 360.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 360.5 is 721, and 4 more than 721 is in fact 725.
