1 more than twice a number is 441

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 441" 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 441.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 441

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 = 441

2x + 1 - 1 = 441 - 1
2x = 440

2x/2 = 440/2
x = 220

Answer = 220

The answer above is correct, because twice 220 is 440, and 1 more than 440 is in fact 441.
