X Marks the Spot

[Maturins_Daughter]

Complete the equation ~

Jordan's sport + X = Basketball Net [IWasSentWest]
Bass + X = Fishnet [IWasSentWest]
X + certain sugars = Net Carbs [IWasSentWest]
X + pay = Net Income [IWasSentWest]
Security + X = Safety Net [IWasSentWest]
X + value = Net Worth [IWasSentWest]
Commodities + X = Cargo Net [IWasSentWest]

Hint: X is the same value in all equations.
Hint: If the equations included" Leaping + X" and "X + Blade," the answers might be "Jumping Jack" and "Jack Knife."
Hint: The Xs in this puzzle are not Jack

Hints added

[IWasSentWest]

pro?

[Maturins_Daughter]

Pro is not the X value

[mystima]

ummm...court?

[Maturins_Daughter]

That, too, is incorrect.

[Maturins_Daughter]

Take the first one, for example. What is Jordan's sport? What is something that is used in that sport? Pro and court are incorrect, but what are some other things that could go along with that sport?

[mystima]

ball, shoes, people....lol on that last one...hahaha
is bass the guitar or fish in this puzzle?

[Maturins_Daughter]

ball, shoes, people....lol on that last one...hahaha

None of those are what works in the puzzle - keep trying.

is bass the guitar or fish in this puzzle?

Once you know the X, you'll know which one it is

[mystima]

Guard?

[Maturins_Daughter]

I've added a couple of things to the first post in spoiler tags. Hope that helps some.

[IWasSentWest]

net?

[Maturins_Daughter]

Well, just getting the X word isn't the solution to the puzzle... you need to solve the equations

[IWasSentWest]

jordans fav. sport + X = basketball net
Bass + X = fish net
X + certain sugars = net carbs?
X + pay = net profit
Security + X = safety net
X + value = net worth
Commodities + X = cargo net

x = net

the sugar one is throwing me off, some of the others might be off as well

[Maturins_Daughter]

Excellent - all but one! See the first post for the one that was missed.

[IWasSentWest]

net income?

[Maturins_Daughter]

And West gets the entire goose (not just the net goose)

All riddles are the type Brices are not good at. My brain doesn't think that way.
