4 more than twice a number is 747

The number (x) in: "4 more than twice a number is 747" 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 747.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 4 = 747

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 = 747

2x + 4 - 4 = 747 - 4
2x = 743

2x/2 = 743/2
x = 371.5

Answer = 371.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 371.5 is 743, and 4 more than 743 is in fact 747.
