1 more than twice a number is 361

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 361" 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 361.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 361

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 = 361

2x + 1 - 1 = 361 - 1
2x = 360

2x/2 = 360/2
x = 180

Answer = 180

The answer above is correct, because twice 180 is 360, and 1 more than 360 is in fact 361.
