he Problem

Each flavoured Cupcake represents a number from 1 to

9. Can you discover the value of each Cupcake, then
find the total of the 5th row?

LEMON + PURPLE + WHITE    =  15

LEMON + LEMON + WHITE     =  16
PURPLE + LEMON + PURPLE  =  10
WHITE + WHITE + WHITE     =  24
WHITE + WHITE + PURPLE   =   ?

White = 8 Lemon = 4 Purple = 3 w+w+p=19

Imagine the stuck inside a prison – we gradually have to ‘undo’
the things around it before it can be released.
Undo the last thing done to on each step by doing the
opposite.  
√ 2 𝑥 − 5=3  
We can’t add 5 yet
because it’s ‘trapped’
inside .
We ‘square’ to undo
the .
 
2 𝑥 − 5 =9
We can now add 5
To both sides
 
2 𝑥 =14
We now divide both sides
By 7

Enoch is 10cm shorter than Alex. Hajun is double the height of

Alex. Their combined height is 350cm. Find Alex’s height
Hajun 2x+x-10+x=350
