Neurologists often recommend that patients with cognitive impairment periodically solve mathematical problems and examples. This is how logical thinking develops, working memory improves, critical thinking develops, and concentration improves. All this helps to delay serious memory problems for many years or avoid them altogether. We invite you to train your brain a little and solve a simple equation from the 6th grade school curriculum.
So, your task is to find what “x” is equal to, and to make the task a little more difficult, we suggest solving the example in your head without using pen and paper in 20 seconds:
x + 3x + (x + 23) = 108
Well? Did you find the correct answer? Did you do it in 20 seconds? If yes, then you are a true mathematical genius, and you are unlikely to have any problems with logic and memory. And now the correct answer:
x + 3x + (x + 23) = 108
5x + 23 = 108;
5x = 108 – 23;
5x = 85;
x = 17.
If you got the same answer, then congratulations! Solve equations like this sometimes, and your cognitive functions will remain at a high level until old age.
