1 more than twice a number is 406

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 406" 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 406.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 406

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 = 406

2x + 1 - 1 = 406 - 1
2x = 405

2x/2 = 405/2
x = 202.5

Answer = 202.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 202.5 is 405, and 1 more than 405 is in fact 406.
