Algebra Puzzle ( 3x4 )


( 1 flower+2 ice creams )-(1 flower+1 ice cream+1 car )=7
1 ice cream-1 car=7
55=2 cars+1 ice cream
55+7+7=69
69= 3 ice creams
69÷3=23
Therefore, 1 ice cream represents 23.
( 55-23 )÷2=16
Therefore, 1 car represents 16.
36-16-16=4
Therefore, 1 flower represents 4.

Algebra Puzzle ( 3x3 )


3 guitars = 42
42÷3=14
Therefore, 1 guitar represents 14.
2 umbrellas+1 guitar=40
( 40-14 )÷2=13
Therefore, 1 umbrella represents 13.
2 umbrellas+1 gear=35
35-13-13=9
Therefore, 1 gear represents 9.
