1 more than twice a number is 452

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 452" 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 452.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 452

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 = 452

2x + 1 - 1 = 452 - 1
2x = 451

2x/2 = 451/2
x = 225.5

Answer = 225.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 225.5 is 451, and 1 more than 451 is in fact 452.
