Răspuns :
(a x 4 - 25) x 18 = 3438 | : 18
a x 4 - 25 = 191 | +25
a x 4 = 216 | : 4
a = 54
a x 4 - 25 = 191 | +25
a x 4 = 216 | : 4
a = 54
Notez numarul cu ,,a"
[ ( a × 2 ) × 2 - 5 × 5 ] × 18 = 3 438
( a × 2 ) × 2 - 25 = 3 438 : 18
( a × 2 ) × 2 - 25 = 191
( a × 2 ) × 2 = 191 + 25
a × 2 = 216 : 2
a × 2 = 108
a = 108 : 2
a = 54 → numarul, aflat prin metoda mersului invers
