1 more than twice a number is 442

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 442" 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 442.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 442

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 = 442

2x + 1 - 1 = 442 - 1
2x = 441

2x/2 = 441/2
x = 220.5

Answer = 220.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 220.5 is 441, and 1 more than 441 is in fact 442.
