See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the illustration in the question

Required:

Use deductive reasoning to prove (a)

From your question, you need only the (b) part and this is done as follows;

Step 1: Represent the number with: n

Step 2: Multiply n by 4: 4n

Step 3: Add 10 to (2) above: 4n + 10

Step 4: Divide (3) above by 2: (4n + 10)/2 = 4n/2 + 10/2 = 2n + 5

Step 5: Subtract 5 from (4): 2n + 5 - 5 = n

Hence, the end result is proved to be 2n

Test this with any of the given illustration in (a) part, your answer will always be 2n
