Create and simplify an algebraic expression for the following sequence of operations to prove the result is 1. Use N to represent thee number chosen. Think of a number. Add 3. Double that. Subtract 4. Cut that in half. Subtract your original number. Your result is 1!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Think of a number.             N

Add 3.                         N + 3

Double that.                   2N + 6

Subtract 4.                    2N + 2

Cut that in half.              N + 1

Subtract your original number. (N+1) - N = 1

Your result is 1!              Yes.

Very old joke.
