1 more than twice a number is 351

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 351" 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 351.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 351

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 = 351

2x + 1 - 1 = 351 - 1
2x = 350

2x/2 = 350/2
x = 175

Answer = 175

The answer above is correct, because twice 175 is 350, and 1 more than 350 is in fact 351.
