17 Six students start to solve 50 – 2x = 28 in different ways. 4 Chen starts with a number.
He squares his number.
For each student’s work, tick (3) to show if the statements are true or false. His answer is 144
Write down the two possible values of the number Chen starts with.
50 – 2x = 28 50 – 2x = 28
so 2x = 28 – 50 so 50 = 28 2x and [1]
