The Evil Algebra Trap

Last night as I was going to bed, I chanced to see something that LC had left open on the PC. It was a simple puzzle, that boiled down to three simultaneous equations to be solved for x.

Alas, just like Admiral Ackbar, I realised too late: it's a trap!

I found myself unable to sleep, with this puzzle left unsolved. How annoying. After several minutes of this, I proceeded to get up, go and solve the puzzle (£2.50), and then returned to bed. The problem solved, I had no difficulty going to sleep... well, no more than usual anyway.

And that is the tale of the Evil Algebra Trap.
