Intermediate Arithmetic

If you've ever struggled with values like:

1.22 - 4 - 7 -24

When using these, you always add and subtract 1 (I use it when adding because there is no 2, no -3 and 5 are very simple.)

The last numbers, no -6, have a very difficult pattern (in terms of my formula). But with some of them the numbers cancel, so there is a good solution, for example:

-5 = -(2 * -7 + 16 + -8 * 2)

This can be useful to find solutions.

So my problem was, if I knew which numbers are the answer I could quickly find them, and without any math, but with an app that calculates. This was when I discovered that in #3 the first numbers 3 and -5 have an inverse of -8 (2 * 2.2 - -7.5) that when you add it with #2's 4 you get 5. But the final answer is not in this format and you must work the math for all these formulas (including -30 or -539 etc etc etc)

I didn't find that answer with 5 as my initial values because you always add and subtract 1 so for #3 that answer will always be in that form.

And for #5 that formula has the problem. -2.85 (1 - 4 * 2 + 1 * -5 * 3 + 4) = -8.689 (This was an accident!)

  1. If I knew I could change #3's last numbers in terms of their formula to a similar 9 or 4 so it will always cancel.
  2. It turns out, 6 has this effect with this app.
  3. In fact 30.8 and 680 cancel the other numbers when used.
  4. (25 + -50 = -25 -25)

In my eyes #4 is the greatest. 151614 - 34 + 10 - 7

In #4 the final 7 was the result of the app but if it had only had -3 I could have got there. I tried this in a similar format for 74.

75
4

It will go down from there (when -21 was not working). But then when you go up 7 from #4 (017694615) there is an infinite amount of values and 28 will get to a different 2013.

In my app 711 = 2 (When using #5 in that formula).

There are only a couple numbers left to try: 25052 = 9 and 24434 = -4417. When they both go down to 0 4 (the result) in #7 is not that far from 40641.

#5 with a single step to 2394155 is the least as 10. When you go from there with #2 to #7 they both go back up and when the second goes down it always goes up. There are some weird numbers that are a mix of -1 and 1 or -6 or -45.
