The sequence of operations at right will always give you a different final answer depending on the number you start with. a. What is the final value if you start with 18? b. What number did you start with if the final answer is 7.6? c. Describe how you got your answer to 8a. d. Let x represent the number you start with.Write an algebraic expression to represent this sequence of operations. e. Set the expression you got in 8d equal to zero. Then solve the equation for x. Check that your solution is correct by using the value you got for x as the starting number. Do you get zero again?
