1 more than twice a number is 410

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 410" 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 410.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 410

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 = 410

2x + 1 - 1 = 410 - 1
2x = 409

2x/2 = 409/2
x = 204.5

Answer = 204.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 204.5 is 409, and 1 more than 409 is in fact 410.
