1 more than twice a number is 415

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 415" 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 415.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 415

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 = 415

2x + 1 - 1 = 415 - 1
2x = 414

2x/2 = 414/2
x = 207

Answer = 207

The answer above is correct, because twice 207 is 414, and 1 more than 414 is in fact 415.
