Question 838154
Let's read the story in smaller pieces, and understand what each piece means.
What is meant by "the second person"?
What is meant by "the first person"?
What is meant by "1 more than"?
What is meant by "twice as many as"?
 
One student missed {{{3}}} questions on a science test.
The "first person" in this story is that "one student" who missed {{{3}}} questions on a science test.
The "second person" is that "another person" the problem talks about.
It says that "another person missed 1 more than twice as many questions as the first person".
That "second person" missed 1 more than twice as many questions as the first person.
"Twice as many as" means {{{2}}} times that many.
In the problem, that means {{{2}}} times the number of questions listed before,
so it is {{{2}}} times  {{{3}}} ,
and {{{2*3=6}}} .
Then, "{{{1}}} more than" twice as many is {{{1}}} more than {{{2*3=6}}} ,
and {{{2*3+1=6+1}}} , which is {{{6+1=highlight(7)}}} .
We could write {{{2*3+1=highlight(7)}}} .
The "second person",
who missed 1 more than twice as many questions as the first person,
missed {{{highlight(7)}}} questions.
