1 more than twice a number is 431

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 431" 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 431.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 431

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 = 431

2x + 1 - 1 = 431 - 1
2x = 430

2x/2 = 430/2
x = 215

Answer = 215

The answer above is correct, because twice 215 is 430, and 1 more than 430 is in fact 431.
