1 more than twice a number is 331

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 331" 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 1, you get 331.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 331

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 1 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 1 = 331

2x + 1 - 1 = 331 - 1
2x = 330

2x/2 = 330/2
x = 165

Answer = 165

The answer above is correct, because twice 165 is 330, and 1 more than 330 is in fact 331.
