Apple + pear – orange = 4
Apple – 2pears + 3oranges = -6
2apples + 3pears + oranges = 7
Apple = x
Pear = y
Orange = z
X + y – z = 4
X – 2y + 3z = -6
2X + 3y + z = 7
X + y – z = 4
3y – 4z = 10
– y – 3z = 1
X + y – z = 4
3y – 4z = 10
– 13z = 13
So x = apple = 1
Y = Pear = 2
Z = Orange = -1
The result is
Apple + pear – orange = 4 is 1 + 2 – -1 = 4
Apple – 2pears + 3orange = -6 is 1 – 4 + -3 = -6
2 apples + 3pears + orange = 7 is 2 + 6 + -1 = 7

> Banana = 15
> Cherry = 5
> Green Apple = 4
15 + 15 = 30
(2×5) + (2×5) = 20
4 + 4 = 8
15 + 5 x 4 = 35.
I have used the Maths rule to multiply first: 5 times 4 = 20, then adding 15 which gives 35.
Using the Inversing method: 35 – 15 = 20; 20 divided by 5 is equals to 4. This makes my answer correct!

> Green Apple = 10
> Bananas = 4
> Cherries = 2
10 + 10 + 10 = 30
10 + 4 + 4 = 18
4 – 2 = 2
2 + 10 + 4 = 16
Using the Inversing method: 16 – 4 = 12; and 12 – 10 = 2. This makes my answer correct.
Gold Challenge
> Red Apple = 30
> Green Apple = 50
> Yellow Fruit = 80
30 + 30 + 30 = 90
30 + (2×50) + (2×50) = 230
80 + (2×50) + 30 = 210
50 – 30 + 80 = 100
Using the Inversing method: 100 – (80 – 30) = 50 or 100 – (50 – 30) = 80. This makes my answer correct.

> Red Fruit = 1
> Green Pear = 2
> Orange Fruit = -1
1 + (2) – (-1) = 4
1 – 2(2) + 3(-1) = -6
2(1) + 3(2) + (-1) = 7
I have used the Maths methods to find numbers that can be added and substracted together to give final values of 4, -6 and 7.
Multiplying two negative number (-) change the sign to addition (+).
Multiplying a (+) and (-) gives a negative sign (-).
