    Step-by-step explanation:

    Translating the word problem into a symbolic equation yields:

    3n - 3 = 5/6

    Solve this for the number (n):

    Multiplying both sides of this equation by 6 clears out the fraction term:

    18n - 18 = 5

    Adding 18 to both sides isolates 18n: 18n = 23

    Then the number is n = 23/18, and:

    one more than twice this number n is 2 (23/18) + 1, or:

    46/18 + 18/18, or 64/18, or (reducing this result)

    32/9
