If you begin with a one digit integer, multiply by 3, add 8, divide by 2 and subtract
6, you will get the integer back.

Find the number.

Answer:

Trial and error

[(2 * 3 + 8)/2] - 6 = 1 <- NO


[(6 * 3 + 8)/2] - 6 = 7 <- NO
[(8 * 3 + 8)/2] - 6 = 10 <- NO
[(4 * 3 + 8)/2] - 6 = 4 <- YES!! The number is 4

Algebraically: [(3*x + 8)/2] -6 = 4
