4 more than twice a number is 741

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 741" 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 741.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 741

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 = 741

2x + 4 - 4 = 741 - 4
2x = 737

2x/2 = 737/2
x = 368.5

Answer = 368.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 368.5 is 737, and 4 more than 737 is in fact 741.
