The answers are five and 17 when using the following equation. If the number is x, and the other number is y, you can find this out by using ‘2 + 3x = y’. You then need to decide that ‘x + y = 22’. This lets you know that x = 5 and y = 5.

Mathematics puzzles like this are a great way to challenge yourself. If you have a long journey ahead of you perhaps you’re going on a plane, a book of math puzzles is a great way of keeping yourself entertained and keeping your mind alert at the same time. Math puzzle books can be purchased from the bookstores found within airports, and usually come with a free pen!

These problem-solving exercises are great for children, too. Math puzzles like this are usually found in the classroom to get children more interested in using algebraic equations. Using such techniques are a great way to solve these problems, as they mean you don’t have to sit and continue guessing numbers in order to find out the answer. Instead, you can make use of rather simple algebra to try and find out the answer to the puzzle.

Outside of the classroom, it can be a good idea to try and get your child to play some of these games in their leisure time. Either on the computer or in a book, math puzzle games can help a child realise that maths isn’t all that difficult and is within their realms of achievement. Succeeding in maths puzzles can see a child becoming more confident in their mathematical studies, while also becoming better in school overall.
