Math Riddles with Answers

 

The first step in solving this riddle is to find the value of A.

 

Now,

 

Given A+A+A= 39

 

Which means 3A = 39

Now A = 39/3

 

           = 13

 

We have A= 13

 

Now given 

 

B+B-A = 25

 

We can say 2B - A = 25 

 

Or 2B = 25+13

 

2B = 38

 

B = 38/2

 

=  19

 

Now we have got the values of A, B. Putting these values in the third equation we can get the value of C

 

6+C+B = 50

 

Or

 

6+C+19 = 50

 

C+25 = 50

 

C = 50-25

 

C = 25

 

Now,

 

A+B+C = 13+19+25

                  = 57
