4 more than twice a number is 735

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 735" 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 735.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 735

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 = 735

2x + 4 - 4 = 735 - 4
2x = 731

2x/2 = 731/2
x = 365.5

Answer = 365.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 365.5 is 731, and 4 more than 731 is in fact 735.
