1 more than twice a number is 514

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 514" 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 514.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 514

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 = 514

2x + 1 - 1 = 514 - 1
2x = 513

2x/2 = 513/2
x = 256.5

Answer = 256.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 256.5 is 513, and 1 more than 513 is in fact 514.
