Find the number I think of a number I halve it. I add 4. The result is 7 Double 3 = 6 Subtract 4 = 3
Find the number I think of a number I add 3. I double it. The result is 12 Subtract 3 = 3 Halve 12 = 6
Find the number I think of a number I divide by 3. I add 4. The result is 6. Multiply by 3 = 6 subtract 4 = 2
Find the number Think of a number Multiply by 3. Add 15. Divide by 3. Subtract the original number. The result is 5. n 3n 3n + 15 n + 5 5
