"I'm thinking of a number..."

Ok you guys, let's see if you can do it. The challenge is this (use comments for this exercise):
  1. We are going to start with seven times three from the class list. That person has to make one "I'm thinking of a number" card.
  2. In decreasing order, the next one will solve the number.
  3. The one who wrote the card will say if it's correct or not. If not, he/she will say the answer.
  4. I'm thinking of a number
  5. The one who tried to find the number will write another "I'm thinking of a number" card and so on.
I will arbitrate the whole thing, so get focused on the blog and on my comments. Click on the image to find the examples we made the other day.

We can start now until next friday (april 1st).

  2. Juanma, you have to write your "I'm thinking of a number" card. Look the examples by clicking on the image. You don't have to write an equation, but a card.

  3. I´m thinking of a number...

    If you multiplied my number by 3 and add 4 , the equal is 19.

    Bye! :)

  4. RULE CHANGE: Anyone can answer. When someone get the correct answer the next one in the list will write another "card"

  5. 3X+4=19

  8. Coke , you will say the equal of the operation because if you don´t say this , we can´t resolve the equation =)

    Bye!

  9. Antonio, you have to write the equation first, and then solve it. It's different from the one you made, but it can be solved. Go ahead guys!!

  10. The answer for the Coke's equation is "-215/6", because you can't simplify these equation!

  11. Can you write the equation, Javi?

  12. Ok!
    6x-215=x
    I made the change of number 6x to negative!
    Is my answer good? =)
    Good night!

  13. Hello class again!
    I´m thinking of a number...
    If you multiply my number by 10 and then add 7 you will get 67.
    What is my number?

    Bye class! :)

    It's very easy!

  14. 10x+7=67
    10x=67-7
    10x=60
    x=60/10
    x=6
    This is the solution
    BYE=)

  18. Hello!
    I thinking of a number...
    If you multiply my number by 7 and then add 3 you will get 38.

  19. Hi!
    x multiply by 7 + 3 is 38
    x is 38/7 - 3
    x is, aproximately because you can't divide 38/7, 5,43
    x is, aproximately 2,43
    (Really 38/7 is 5,428...)
    By!

  20. I think that the answer of inma isn´t correct.

    I think that the answer is:

    38-3=35

    35/7= 5

    So, the x is equal to five.

    5·7+3 =38
