The number (x) in: "1 more than three times a number is 367" is what we are solving here.
In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by three (same as three times) and then add 1, you get 367.
To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 3x + 1 = 367
Then you solve the equation by subtracting 1 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 3. Here is the math to
illustrate better:
3x + 1 = 367
3x + 1 - 1 = 367 - 1
3x = 366
3x/3 = 366/3
x = 122
Answer = 122
