sorry if is hard to understand my first language isn't english,

-No matter the number you choose, after step number 4 the answer will always be three since we multiple and then divide by the same number.

Basically multiplication and division are opposites operations so it's like there isn't steps 1, 2, and 3.

yeah I'm bad explaining too.

3 + 3 = 6

6 / 3= 2
