Cam asked Jordan for his phone number. Jordan loves math so much that he gave Cam a riddle for each digit.

1. Multiply me by 2 and add 4. Divide that by 8, then add 3 to get 5.
2. Add 4 to me and multiply by 3. Subtract 2 then add 7 to get 32.
3. Subtract 3 from me and divide by 2. Now add 5, then multiply by 3 to get 24.
4. Add 7 to me and multiply by 2. Now subtract 4, then divide by 3 to get 4.
5. Multiply me by 3 and add 9. Now divide by 6, then add 3 to get 8.
6. Subtract 2 from me and divide by 5. Now add 6, then multiply by 2 and you get 14.
7. Divide me by 2, then add 11. Now multiply by 3, then subtract 27 and you get 18.
