Question 1184663
<pre>
Follow the steps given, make a conjecture then prove your conjecture deductively:

1.  Think of a number. ( i picked 2 pls)      
Let x = the number
 
2.  Multiply the number by 5
Now we have 5x

3.  Add 17 to the result in Step 2.
Now we have 5x+17

4.  Triple the result in Step 3.
Now we have 3(5x+17) or 15x+51

5.  Reduce the result in Step 4 by 6
Now we have 15x+45

6.  Divide the result in Step 5 by 5
Now we have 3x+9

7.  Subtract 9 from the result in Step 6.
Now we have 3x

You are left with three times the original number.
