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

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.
