1 more than twice a number is 595

The number (x) in: "1 more than twice a number is 595" 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 595.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 1 = 595

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 = 595

2x + 1 - 1 = 595 - 1
2x = 594

2x/2 = 594/2
x = 297

Answer = 297

The answer above is correct, because twice 297 is 594, and 1 more than 594 is in fact 595.
