1 more than twice a number is 513

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 513" 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 513.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 513

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 = 513

2x + 1 - 1 = 513 - 1
2x = 512

2x/2 = 512/2
x = 256

Answer = 256

The answer above is correct, because twice 256 is 512, and 1 more than 512 is in fact 513.
