Activity

Question 1. Magic Trick
STEP-1: Think of a number
STEP-2: Multiply it by 3
STEP-3: Add 6
STEP-4: Divide it by 3
STEP-5 : Subtract the number chosen in STEP-1 from your answer in STEP-4
Answer: No matter what number you start with, following these steps will always lead to the answer 2. This happens because the steps are designed to cancel out your original number, always leaving 2 behind. It's a fun math puzzle that shows how algebra works.
In simple words: If you follow the steps, you will always get 2 as the final answer. The math steps are set up so that your first number gets removed in the end.
