Each answer you find is used inside the next question. Work through the full chain carefully – if you get one wrong, it affects the rest!

Your Workings For Chain Reaction

1) Solve: 3x – 6 = 9

A =

2) Use your answer from Q1 as “a”. Now solve: a – x = 1

B =

3) Use your answer from Q2 as “b”. Now expand and simplify: (x + 3)(x + b) – what is the coefficient of x?

C =

4) Use your answer from Q3 as “c”. Now solve: (x + c)/2 = 8

Chain Reaction – Easy

What this puzzle is: a sequence of linked mini-questions. Your answer from Step 1 becomes the input (often a) for Step 2, then b for Step 3, and so on. Think “maths dominoes”.

Easy method:

  • Read the whole chain first so you know what feeds into what.
  • Solve Step 1 carefully and write the result clearly as a = …
  • Substitute a into the next step, solve it, then label it b = …
  • Repeat until the final step.

Golden rule: one wrong step breaks everything later — double-check each answer before moving on.
