1 more than twice a number is 377

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 377" 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 377.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 377

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 = 377

2x + 1 - 1 = 377 - 1
2x = 376

2x/2 = 376/2
x = 188

Answer = 188

The answer above is correct, because twice 188 is 376, and 1 more than 376 is in fact 377.
