1 more than twice a number is 432

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 432" 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 432.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 432

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 = 432

2x + 1 - 1 = 432 - 1
2x = 431

2x/2 = 431/2
x = 215.5

Answer = 215.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 215.5 is 431, and 1 more than 431 is in fact 432.
