6 more than twice a number is 722

The number (x) in: "6 more than twice a number is 722" 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 6, you get 722.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 6 = 722

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 6 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 6 = 722

2x + 6 - 6 = 722 - 6
2x = 716

2x/2 = 716/2
x = 358

Answer = 358

The answer above is correct, because twice 358 is 716, and 6 more than 716 is in fact 722.
