Algebra Puzzle (3 x 3)
First, we take the ice-cream as c.
The flower as w, and the gear as g.
Therefore,
15 = c + c + c
= 3c
c = 15 ÷ 3
= 5
Now that we know c = 5, the next step(3rd row) is:
35 = c + g + g
= 5 + g + g
Thus,
35 - 5 = g + g
30 = g + g
30 ÷ 2 = g
15 = g
Finally, we can evaluate(the 1st row):
c + w + g
=5 + 15 +w
=20 + w
=23
Therefore,
w = 23 - 20
= 3
So the answer is: Flower = 3
Gear = 15
Ice - cream = 5
