System Syntax & Scoring

AlgeBrain runs on pure logic. You don't guess the answer; you command the system. Here is how to interface with the engine:

• Basic Moves: Type your operation and press EXECUTE. (e.g., -5, +2x, /4, *3). Spaces are ignored.
• Time Saver Bonus (+50 XP): For advanced levels, you can skip steps by mentally doing the math and typing the resulting equation (e.g., typing 5x=25 instead of just hitting add).
• Critical Hit (+100 XP): If you can look at the board and mentally solve it on move #1, type x=[number] for a massive XP bonus.

Strategy Guide: The Basics

Stuck on the early levels? Here is the breakdown of the logic engines for Levels 1 through 7.

Level 1: First Strike

The absolute basics. Solve 1-step equations to find x.

• Example: x + 5 = 12
• Step 1: -5 → x = 7

Level 2: Awakening

The foundation. Solve simple linear equations in the form ax + b = c.

• Example: 3x + 5 = 17
• Step 1: -5 → 3x = 12 (Remove the constant)
• Step 2: /3 → x = 4 (Isolate x)

Level 3: Chasing Shadows

Variables appear on both sides. Group your x terms first.

• Example: 5x + 2 = 3x + 12
• Step 1: -3x → 2x + 2 = 12 (Group x terms)
• Step 2: -2 → 2x = 10 (Remove constant)
• Step 3: /2 → x = 5 (Solve)

Level 4: Glint

Parentheses detected. You must manually distribute the multiplier and type the expanded equation.

• Example: 5(x+2) = 40
• Step 1: 5x+10=40 → 5x + 10 = 40 (Distribute the 5)
• Step 2: -10 → 5x = 30
• Step 3: /5 → x = 6

Level 5: The Wind That Shapes The Land

Introduction to curves. Isolate x² and use the sqrt command.

• Example: 3x² = 27
• Step 1: /3 → x² = 9 (Isolate squared term)
• Step 2: sqrt → x = 3 (Apply Square Root)

Level 6: The Serpent's Coil

Multiple variables. Combine the loose terms before solving.

• Example: 8x - 2x + 5 = 35
• Step 1: 6x+5=35 → 6x + 5 = 35 (Combine x terms)
• Step 2: -5 → 6x = 30
• Step 3: /6 → x = 5

Level 7: In The Walls

Dealing with division fractions. Multiply the whole equation to clear the denominator.

• Example: x/4 + 3 = 8
• Step 1: -3 → x/4 = 5 (Isolate fraction)
• Step 2: *4 → x = 20 (Multiply to clear division)
