Question
Ask your friend rite — W down your A age. dd 5 to it. Multiply the sum by 2. Subtract 10 from it. Next, divide it by 2. What do you get?
Solution
Let the age of my friend be 9 years.
Adding 5 to it, we get
9 + 5 = 14
Multiplying this sum by 2, we get
14 × 2 = 28
Subtracting 10 from 28, we get
28 − 10 = 18
Dividing it by 2, we get
18 ÷ 2 = 9
The answer is the same as my friend’s age.
