1 more than twice a number is 439

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 439" 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 439.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 439

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 = 439

2x + 1 - 1 = 439 - 1
2x = 438

2x/2 = 438/2
x = 219

Answer = 219

The answer above is correct, because twice 219 is 438, and 1 more than 438 is in fact 439.
