1 more than twice a number is 516

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 516" 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 516.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 516

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 = 516

2x + 1 - 1 = 516 - 1
2x = 515

2x/2 = 515/2
x = 257.5

Answer = 257.5

The answer above is correct, because twice 257.5 is 515, and 1 more than 515 is in fact 516.
