The magic of numbers
Secret number, do magic sums.
Find it, solve the puzzle.
Treasure hunt, answer known.
Momo: I love puzzles! Let's find the secret number! It's like a game!
Professor Puzzle: Let's say x is five. Then 3*5+5=20, right?
Momo: Let's try one! 3 times a number plus 5 equals 20.
20 - 5 = 15.
Then, we divide 15 by 3: 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
So, the secret number is 5!

Your turn, hero!
Professor Puzzle♥♥♥
Three times a number plus six equals twenty-one. What's the number?
5. 3x + 6 = 21 → 3x = 15 → x = 5. 5
Professor Puzzle: Wrong! Try x is four. Then 3*4+5=17. Not twenty!
Twice a number minus six equals ten.
8. 2n - 6 = 10; 2n = 16; n = 8. 2 × 8 - 6 = 10.
The final battle
