what, you can't follow simple instructions and do basic arithmetic?

3+7 = 10
10*2 = 20
20-4 = 16
16/2 = 8
8-3 = 5

To find the result for the first number, which is 3, follow the given procedure step by step:

1. Add 7 to 3: 3 + 7 = 10
2. Double the result: 10 * 2 = 20
3. Subtract 4 from the doubled result: 20 - 4 = 16
4. Divide the subtracted number by 2: 16 / 2 = 8
5. Finally, subtract the original selected number, which is 3: 8 - 3 = 5

Therefore, the result for the first number, 3, is 5.
