4 more than twice a number is 739

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 739" 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 739.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 739

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 = 739

2x + 4 - 4 = 739 - 4
2x = 735

2x/2 = 735/2
x = 367.5

Answer = 367.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 367.5 is 735, and 4 more than 735 is in fact 739.
