⚖️ Linear Equations Algebra Number Snake Arcade

Solve for x with inverse operations! Practice 1-step and 2-step algebraic linear equations through retro Snake arcade gameplay.

🎯

Look at the target equation at the top of the arena (e.g. 7 × 8 = ?).

🐍

Navigate your snake using arrow keys, WASD, swipes, or the touch D-Pad to eat the correct number orb.

⭐

Eating correct answers grows your snake, levels up your speed, and triggers combo point multipliers.

Inverse Operations Undo Steps: Undo addition with subtraction (x + 7 = 15 ⟹ x = 15 − 7 = 8), and undo subtraction with addition (x − 4 = 12 ⟹ x = 12 + 4 = 16).
Undo Multiplication with Division: When a variable has a coefficient like 3x = 24, divide both sides by 3 to isolate x = 8.
Two-Step Isolation Order: For equations like 2x + 5 = 19, always undo the addition/subtraction constant first (19 − 5 = 14), then divide by 2 to get x = 7.
Quick Check by Substitution: Before steering into an orb, mentally substitute your answer back into the equation: 2(7) + 5 = 14 + 5 = 19 (Checked!).
