A. What is asked? What is the original number?
B. What are given? 4 + n, n x 3, n ÷ 2, n - 1
C. What operations will be used? Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division
D. What is the equation? 4 + n = n x 3 = n ÷ 2 = n - 1
E. 4 + 18 = 22
22 x 3 = 66
66 ÷ 2 = 33
33 - 1 = 32
Let's check, 4 is added to a number, 4 + 18 is equal to 22
Then, the sum is multiplied by 3, the sum is 22 so 22 x 3 is equal to 66
Next, the product is divided by 2, the product is 66, 66 ÷ 2 is equal to 33
Last, subtract the quotient by 1, the quotient is 33, so 33 - 1 is equal to 32.
And the final result says in the sentence is 32 and we also got 32. So the original number is, 4 + 18 = 22, 22 x 3 = 66, 66 ÷ 2 = 33, 33 - 1 = 32
