4 more than twice a number is 745

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 745" 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 745.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 745

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 = 745

2x + 4 - 4 = 745 - 4
2x = 741

2x/2 = 741/2
x = 370.5

Answer = 370.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 370.5 is 741, and 4 more than 741 is in fact 745.
