Week 2 What's Your Age?

Here is a little math-related trick you can use to calculate your age. 

1. Multiply the first number of the age by 5. 

2. Add 3 to the result of that calculation.

3. Double the answer from Step 2.

4. Add the second digit of the number with the result.

5. Subtract 6 from that calculation.

For example, I am 16 years old.

1. 1 x 5 = 5

2. 5 + 3 = 8

3. 8 x 2 = 16

4. 16 + 6 = 22

5. 22 - 6 = 16

And there you go, 16 years old.

This is just another way of demonstrating one of math's many unique properties. :)
