Hola aspirantes a amigos=hi wannabe be friends ¿Qué cosas se deben exigir en un acertijo?=what things should be required in a riddle

To create a riddle the first thing you need to do is understand the parts of a riddle and how a riddle works. 1. Come up with an answer to your riddle

The first step to creating a riddle is to come up with the answer.  

You do this to know what your riddle is going to be about.  

2. Long Riddle or short riddle?

After you have your answer to your riddle you need to decide if you are going to create a short riddle or a long riddle.  

This is a personal preference because both long and short riddles are great.  

3. Create a List

Once you have your answer to your riddle, create a list of what your “answer does” or things that describe it.  

For instance, if your answer is a box. You could say it is brown, square, holds things, comes in all sizes, travels around the world, etc.  

4. Draft Your Riddle

Once you have your list of describing words it is time to draft your riddle. The best types of riddles use simple strong words in the riddle.  

For example, what has hands, but can’t clap?

The answer is a clock! (The hands move around to tell the time, but of course, they can’t clap!)

5. Share your Riddle

Now that you have created a riddle it is time to share it with friends.  

Did they guess it? Did they think it was a good riddle?

Based on how they react you might have to revise it as necessary.  

Creating riddles is a fun way to pass the time and have fun with family and friends.  

Different Types of Riddles

There are a few different types of riddles. Some are very simple and some are more complex.  

Riddles can be classified as an enigma or a conundrum.  

An Enigma riddle is a riddle that will require careful thinking and problem solving to be able to solve.  

A conundrum riddle is usually one that consists of a pun usually within the question or the answer.  

The best type of riddles are ones that are difficult to solve and have an answer or meaning to it that makes you go “ah ha”.  

Riddles aren’t like they were in ancient times, but one thing is for sure, people and kids still love creating riddles and solving them!

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4
