Math Video Games Puzzles for Grades 1-6: Are Your Kids Ready ... - Free Printable

Let's solve this fun math puzzle step by step using the given equations and symbols.

We have four different gaming devices represented as icons:

1. 🎮 Nintendo Switch (Joy-Con style) – Let's call it S
2. 🕹️ Arcade Machine – Let's call it A
3. 📱 Game Boy / Handheld Console – Let's call it G
4. 🎮 Xbox-style Controller – Let's call it X

We are given 4 equations, and we need to find the value of the final expression.

🔢 Step 1: Write down the equations

#### Equation 1:
> S × A × S = 216
→ S² × A = 216  (1)

#### Equation 2:
> G + S + G = 40
→ 2G + S = 40  (2)

#### Equation 3:
> 36 = A × S
→ A × S = 36  (3)

#### Equation 4:
> S + X + G = 99  (4)

#### Final Question:
> A × (S + S) + (X + X) = ?
→ A × (2S) + 2X = ?

So we need to find:
2AS + 2X = ?

But from equation (3), we know:
AS = 36, so 2AS = 72

So the final answer will be:
72 + 2X

So we just need to find X, the value of the Xbox controller.

🔍 Solve step-by-step

From (3):
A × S = 36 → A = 36/S

Plug into (1):
S² × A = 216
Substitute A:
S² × (36/S) = 216
→ 36S = 216
→ S = 216 ÷ 36 = 6

✔ So S = 6

Now from (3):
A × S = 36 → A × 6 = 36 → A = 6

✔ So A = 6

Now from (2):
2G + S = 40 → 2G + 6 = 40 → 2G = 34 → G = 17

✔ So G = 17

Now from (4):
S + X + G = 99 → 6 + X + 17 = 99 → X + 23 = 99 → X = 76

✔ So X = 76

---

✔ Now compute the final expression:

> A × (S + S) + (X + X)
= A × (2S) + 2X
= 6 × (2×6) + 2×76
= 6 × 12 + 152
= 72 + 152
= 224

✔ Final Answer: 224

🎉 Summary of Values:

- Nintendo Switch (S) = 6
- Arcade Machine (A) = 6
- Game Boy (G) = 17
- Xbox Controller (X) = 76

Final Expression:
> Arcade × (Switch + Switch) + (Controller + Controller)
= 6 × (6 + 6) + (76 + 76)
= 6 × 12 + 152 = 72 + 152 = 224
