Question 105

What does a duck do when it flies upside down? The answer to this riddle is hidden in the equation given below:
If i + 69 = 70, then i = ? If 8u = 6u + 8, then u=?
If 4a = -5a + 45, then a = ? If 4q + 5 = 17, then q = ?
If -5t - 60 = -70, then t = ? If $\frac{1}{4}s+98=100,$ then s = ?
If $\frac{5}{3}p+9=24,$ then p = ?
If 3c = c + 12, then c = ?
If 3(k + 1) = 24, then k = ?
For riddle answer: substitute the number for the letter it equals

Answer 1

We have,
$i+69=70\Rightarrow i=70-69\Rightarrow i=1and8u=6u+8\Rightarrow 8u-6u=8\Rightarrow \frac{2u}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\Rightarrow u=4Wehave,4a=-5a+45\Rightarrow 4a+5a=45\Rightarrow 9a=45\Rightarrow \frac{9a}{9}=\frac{45}{9}\Rightarrow a=5and4q+5=17\Rightarrow 4q=17-5\Rightarrow 4q=12\Rightarrow \frac{4q}{4}=\frac{12}{4}\Rightarrow q=3Wehave,-5t-60=-70\Rightarrow -5t=-70+60\Rightarrow -5t=-10\Rightarrow \frac{-5t}{-5}=\frac{-10}{-5}\Rightarrow t=2and\frac{1}{4}s+98=100\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}s=100-98\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}s=2\Rightarrow \frac{4}{4}s=4\times 2\Rightarrow s=8Wehave,\frac{5}{3}p+9=24\Rightarrow \frac{5}{3}p=24-9\Rightarrow \frac{5}{3}p=15\Rightarrow \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{3}p=\frac{3}{5}\times 15\Rightarrow p=9Wehave,3c-c=12\Rightarrow 2c=12\Rightarrow \frac{2c}{2}=\frac{12}{2}\Rightarrow c=6wehave,3(k+1)=24\Rightarrow \frac{3(k+1)}{3}=\frac{24}{3}\Rightarrow k+1=8\Rightarrow k=8-1\Rightarrow k=7$
By substituting the number for the letter it equals, we get
