As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.
Okay, this is a good álgebra challenge
Now ¡ÁLGEBRA TIME!
First, the second is a distractor ¿Why?
Look at the equation:
W+Z-Z=W
Any number minus itself is 0
W=W
No information, it is a distractor
Now, with distributive property we know that Y/2=Z+W/2,
But for the same reason, we also know that X(dark blue egg), Y/2=X
We can use all of this for this equation:
2W+4=W/2+4
Now the resolution:
2W=W/2
2W-W/2=0
4W/2-W/2=0
3W/2=0
3W=2×0
W=0/3
W=0
Finally replacing:
Z=4
W=0
Y=8
X=4
And replacing in the the equations:
0+0+4=4
0+4-4=0
0+4+4=8
4+4=8
