1 more than twice a number is 471

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 471" 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 471.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 471

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 = 471

2x + 1 - 1 = 471 - 1
2x = 470

2x/2 = 470/2
x = 235

Answer = 235

The answer above is correct, because twice 235 is 470, and 1 more than 470 is in fact 471.
