Lets take the top and bottom lines. The first step of the procedure states to think of any number. For an instance 14. The last step states to take the number away from itself. So 14 - 14 = 0. If it always = 0. The middle steps must = to 5. [ (3 x 2) + (4) = (10) ] so [ ( 10 divide by 2 ) = 5. By rearranging the equation in a systematic way we can achieve the answer.
