I have the following question that I have solved. Just having difficulty trying to figure out why it works:
Write your phone number. Multiply that value by 2. Add 5. Multiply the sum by 50. Add your age to the product. Add 365 to the new sum. Subtract 615 from this sum. The result will be your phone nmber and age, with your age being in the ones and tens place. Use variables to show how this problem works.
I'm thinking that the multiply the sum by 50 is the key to this problem, but can't put my finger on it... HELP!
