The time has come for you to demonstrate your intelligence, and what better opportunity to do so than this new mathematical challenge. Here you must try to find the value of each of the objects that we show and finally demonstrate how much the Christmas gift is worth. Are you ready? You have to concentrate and think carefully about each equation shown in the illustration. Remember that the key is to use our math skills 100%.
What do you need to get the solution? We believe that it is not just about being intelligent, but about using our reasoning. It’s not simple, but it’s not out of this world either. Therefore, you will only have 10 seconds to correctly determine the value of each item.

Solution to the mathematical challenge
We analyze the first equation:
Star + star + star = 9. That means that each star is equivalent to 3.
Second equation:
Reno x star + two stars = Reno x 3 + 6 = 18. So, reno is 4.
Third equation:
Reindeer x star + reindeer x house = 30. 4 x 3 + 3 x house = 30. Therefore, house is 6.
Fourth equation:
70 – two reindeer x house = gift. We replace: 70 – 8 x 6 = 22. So, gift is 22.
In what order are mathematical equations solved?
In mathematics, the order of solving operations follows the PEMDAS rule: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and finally Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This rule establishes the priority of operations and ensures consistent resolution of complex mathematical expressions. Remembering PEMDAS is essential to avoid confusion and obtain accurate answers.
