Let R = a red balloon
GG = a pair of green balloons
BB = a pair of blue balloons
By putting the variables in the ‘balloon math problem’, we will get:
R + R + R = 30
R + GG + GG = 18
GG – BB = 2
B + R * G = ?
Now, by solving the first equation of the ‘balloon math problem’, we get
R + R + R = 30
3R = 30
R = 30/3
R = 10
Now,
Second equation consists of
R + GG + GG = 18
R + 2GG = 18
10 + 2GG = 18
2GG= 18-10= 8
GG= 8/2
GG= 4
Now, by solving the third equation of the ‘balloon math problem’, we get:
GG – BB = 2
4 – 2 = BB
2 = BB
Therefore, finding the values of single G and B, we get
G = GG/2= 4/2= 2
B- BB/2 = 2/2 = 1
Now, we can evaluate the last equation
B + R * G
1 + 10 * 2
1 + (20)
21
Note: One should remember that while finding the ‘balloon math puzzle solution’, using BODMAS is necessary. Otherwise, getting the correct solution is impossible. Hence, solved.
