CSI Algebra: Variables &ExpressionsDetectives,As you know we are after a group of international evil geniuses, the Mathemagicians. Our evidenceindicates they have plans to build a world conquering device – to conquer the world. It seems that oneof the anonymous henchmen, Otto Pemdas, has committed a string of robberies all over Australia. Wefear this is another step in the Mathemagician’s attempt to build a world conquering device.Fortunately, the Mathemagicians are arrogant about their work and havea reputation for leaving behind a trail of notes and a cryptic text message.The text message when substituted correctly will calculate to the Otto’sfavorite number. So far there are six suspects that police havequestioned. It is hoped that someone with a relatively strong numbersense can crack some codes that have puzzled the detectives on the caseso far.Your job is to bring Otto Pemdas to justice and save the planet. You needto be prepared to state your case and demonstrate your understanding ofthe following skills that Otto is known to use in the notes.-Order of Operations-Translating Verbal and Algebraic Expressions-Open Sentences-Distribution-Combining Like TermsBe sure to include:-Other examples of the concepts-Definitions-Any other relevant information.This is not a time to be sloppy. The slightest miscalculation or illegible footnote could result in a notguilty verdict. Oh, did I mention that use of a calculator might prematurely set off his world conqueringdevice? Good luck to you, gumshoe.Chief Harris 21st Century Math Projects
