I, Lucie Meyer, enjoy this type of challenge because it feels like a little mathematical investigation: the solution isn’t immediately visible, but each equation provides a clue to move forward. In this kind of exercise, the difficulty lies not in the calculations themselves, but in the ability to connect the information to uncover the unknown values step by step. One must observe, deduce, and above all, maintain a clear method.
Mathematics here becomes a logical game where each equality builds upon the next.
As George Pólya said:
“Understanding the problem is half the solution.”
This reminds us that before calculating, we must first thoroughly analyze what we have.
What This Challenge Allows You to Work On:
- Solving systems of equations
- Deductive reasoning
- Organizing information
- Precision in calculations
- Verifying results

What Your Performance Can Reveal
If you find the result quickly and correctly, you have excellent logic and analytical skills.
If you find the result after some thought, you know how to structure your reasoning and check your steps.
And if the result is incorrect or not found, no worries; this type of exercise is perfect for improving method and accuracy.
Detailed Solution We Found (Not Necessarily the Only or Right One)
Step 1: Find a
a + a = 100
2a = 100
a = 50
Step 2: Find b
b + b = 50
2b = 50
b = 25
Step 3: Find c
a + b × c = 300
50 + 25c = 300
25c = 250
c = 10
Final Calculation
c² = 10² = 100
Final Answer:
100
Conclusion
This challenge demonstrates that solving a system of equations primarily requires method and logic. By progressing step by step, one transforms a complex problem into a series of simple and coherent calculations.
