Code Breaker – Level 1 – Medium

Other Puzzles

Each correct answer gives a number. Use the scrambled letter map to translate those numbers into letters. The five letters you uncover form an anagram – solve it to unlock the codeword. Round normally to get to a rational number, if needed.

Your Workings For Code Breaker

1) (x – 3)(x + 3) + 2x = 13 + x2
2) 2(x + 2) + 3(x – 1) – 2 = x + 4 + 3x – 1
3) 4x – (2x – 3) + 2(x – 1) = 25
4) (x + 3)(x – 2) – (x – 1)(x + 1) + x = 5
5) 3x + 2(x + 1) = 4x + 9

Additional instructions for Code Breaker (Level 1, Medium)

Code Breaker – Medium

Medium difficulty usually means the algebra requires more steps (brackets, collecting like terms, possibly factorising) before you can translate numbers into letters.

Best workflow:

  • Solve each equation with one algebra move per line (keeps errors down).
  • Record answers in strict order (1 → value, 2 → value…).
  • Convert each value using the map, then anagram the letters into a themed word.

Anagram tip: set aside any letters you suspect are “extras” only after you’ve tried a couple of sensible word shapes.
