  40. Why is Algebra interesting? It allows us to understand the magic of numbers. • Think of any positive number between 1 and 10 • Multiple it by itself • Add the result to your original number • Divide by your original Number • Add 17 • Subtract your original number • Divide by 6 • What number did you end up with?
