1 more than twice a number is 403

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 403" 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 403.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 403

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 = 403

2x + 1 - 1 = 403 - 1
2x = 402

2x/2 = 402/2
x = 201

Answer = 201

The answer above is correct, because twice 201 is 402, and 1 more than 402 is in fact 403.
