💡 Analysis & Explanation
Decoding the Cipher
The problem specifically requires translating a sequential mathematical expression based on strictly provided coded rules. The operational cipher maps '-' to '÷', '+' to 'x', and 'x' to '+'.
Expression Translation
Applying these exact translational rules to the given sequence '36 - 4 + 7 x 8' safely transforms it into the solvable numeric equation '36 ÷ 4 * 7 + 8'.
BODMAS Execution
Following the proper and rigid order of mathematical operations, division comes absolutely first: 36 ÷ 4 = 9. Next is multiplication: 9 * 7 = 63. Finally, simple addition: 63 + 8 = 71.
Conclusion
The final calculated value is mathematically and accurately determined to be 71.
