1 more than twice a number is 430

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 430" 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 430.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 430

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 = 430

2x + 1 - 1 = 430 - 1
2x = 429

2x/2 = 429/2
x = 214.5

Answer = 214.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 214.5 is 429, and 1 more than 429 is in fact 430.
