1 more than twice a number is 427

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 427" 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 427.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 427

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 = 427

2x + 1 - 1 = 427 - 1
2x = 426

2x/2 = 426/2
x = 213

Answer = 213

The answer above is correct, because twice 213 is 426, and 1 more than 426 is in fact 427.
