4 more than twice a number is 736

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 736" 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 736.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 736

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 = 736

2x + 4 - 4 = 736 - 4
2x = 732

2x/2 = 732/2
x = 366

Answer = 366

The answer above is correct, because twice 366 is 732, and 4 more than 732 is in fact 736.
