The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 412" 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 412.
To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 412
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 = 412
2x + 1 - 1 = 412 - 1
2x = 411
2x/2 = 411/2
x = 205.5
Answer = 205.5
The answer above is correct, because twice 205.5 is 411, and 1 more than 411 is in fact 412.
