1 more than twice a number is 333

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 333" 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 333.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 333

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 = 333

2x + 1 - 1 = 333 - 1
2x = 332

2x/2 = 332/2
x = 166

Answer = 166

The answer above is correct, because twice 166 is 332, and 1 more than 332 is in fact 333.
