1 more than twice a number is 419

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 419" 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 419.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 419

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 = 419

2x + 1 - 1 = 419 - 1
2x = 418

2x/2 = 418/2
x = 209

Answer = 209

The answer above is correct, because twice 209 is 418, and 1 more than 418 is in fact 419.
