4 more than twice a number is 732

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 732" 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 732.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 732

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 = 732

2x + 4 - 4 = 732 - 4
2x = 728

2x/2 = 728/2
x = 364

Answer = 364

The answer above is correct, because twice 364 is 728, and 4 more than 728 is in fact 732.
