(A) Without simplifying along the way....
Step1: Think of a number ---------------- x Step2: Add 7 ---------------------------- x+7 Step3: Double your answer --------------- 2(x+7) Step4: Subtract 4 ----------------------- 2(x+7)-4 Step5: Divide by 2 ---------------------- (2(x+7)-4)/2 Step6: Subtract the number you started -- ((2(x+7)-4)/2)-x Step7: write down your answer
(B) Simplifying as we go....
Step1: Think of a number ---------------- x Step2: Add 7 ---------------------------- x+7 Step3: Double your answer --------------- 2(x+7) = 2x+14 Step4: Subtract 4 ----------------------- (2x+14)-4 = 2x+10 Step5: Divide by 2 ---------------------- (2x+10)/2 = x+5 Step6: Subtract the number you started -- (x+5)-x = 5 Step7: write down your answer ----------- 5
