| Sight of 9 AND 49 | B1 | |
| \(n + 9 = 49\) | M1 | Any unambiguous indication that this linear relationship is being considered (including ‘trial and improvement’). FT their √81 (≠81) AND 72 (≠7) for M1 and possibly A1 if at least one correct value used. FT for M1 only if neither correct value used. Award M1 if 49 – 9 seen. |
| (\(n\) =) 40 | A1 | Mark final answer. |
