1 more than twice a number is 404

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 404" 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 404.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 404

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 = 404

2x + 1 - 1 = 404 - 1
2x = 403

2x/2 = 403/2
x = 201.5

Answer = 201.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 201.5 is 403, and 1 more than 403 is in fact 404.
