1 more than twice a number is 467

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 467" 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 467.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 467

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 = 467

2x + 1 - 1 = 467 - 1
2x = 466

2x/2 = 466/2
x = 233

Answer = 233

The answer above is correct, because twice 233 is 466, and 1 more than 466 is in fact 467.
