1 more than twice a number is 424

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 424" 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 424.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 424

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 = 424

2x + 1 - 1 = 424 - 1
2x = 423

2x/2 = 423/2
x = 211.5

Answer = 211.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 211.5 is 423, and 1 more than 423 is in fact 424.
