4 more than twice a number is 733

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 733" 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 733.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 733

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 = 733

2x + 4 - 4 = 733 - 4
2x = 729

2x/2 = 729/2
x = 364.5

Answer = 364.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 364.5 is 729, and 4 more than 729 is in fact 733.
