1 more than twice a number is 425

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 425" 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 425.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 425

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 = 425

2x + 1 - 1 = 425 - 1
2x = 424

2x/2 = 424/2
x = 212

Answer = 212

The answer above is correct, because twice 212 is 424, and 1 more than 424 is in fact 425.
