1 more than twice a number is 422

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 422" 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 422.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 422

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 = 422

2x + 1 - 1 = 422 - 1
2x = 421

2x/2 = 421/2
x = 210.5

Answer = 210.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 210.5 is 421, and 1 more than 421 is in fact 422.
