1 more than twice a number is 434

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 434" 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 434.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 434

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 = 434

2x + 1 - 1 = 434 - 1
2x = 433

2x/2 = 433/2
x = 216.5

Answer = 216.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 216.5 is 433, and 1 more than 433 is in fact 434.
