1 more than twice a number is 563

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 563" 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 563.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 563

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 = 563

2x + 1 - 1 = 563 - 1
2x = 562

2x/2 = 562/2
x = 281

Answer = 281

The answer above is correct, because twice 281 is 562, and 1 more than 562 is in fact 563.
