Alison discovered a number trick in a book she was reading:
     
      Choose a number.
      Add 3.
      Multiply by 2.
      Add 4.
      Divide by 2.
      Subtract 5.

Try the trick several times. Make a conjecture about the relation between the number picked and the final result. Can you find a counterexample to your conjecture? What does this imply?
 

 52. 

Art tried this number trick:
• Write down your street number.
• Multiply by 2.
• Add the number of days in a week.
• Multiply by 50.
• Add the last two digits of your phone number.
• Subtract the number of days in a year.
• Add 15.

Art’s result was a number in which the tens and ones digits were the last digits of his phone number and the rest of the digits were his street number. He tried to prove why this works, but his final expression did not make sense.

Let n represent any street number.
2n      Multiply by 2.
2n + 7      Add the number of days in a week.
100n + 7      Multiply by 50.
Let p represent the last two numbers of the phone number.
100n + 7 + p      Add phone number digits.
100n + p – 358      Subtract the number of days in a year.
100n + p – 343      Add 15.

Determine the errors in Art’s proof, and then correct them.
 

 53. 

Crystal created a math trick in which she always ended with twice the number with which she began. When Crystal tried to prove her trick, however, it did not work.

Crystal’s Proof
n      I used n to represent any number.
4n      Multiply by 4.
4n + 8      Add 8.
2n + 2      Divide by 2.
2n – 2      Subtract 4.

Identify the error in Crystal’s proof and write the proof without error.
