🔍 Step-by-Step Solution



We'll go through each math problem and determine which color it corresponds to based on the key:

#### 🔹 Color Key:
- Brown: 9, 10, 11, 13, 17
- Green: 2, 4, 14
- Black: 6, 8, 15, 18
- Sky Blue: 3, 5, 7, 12

Let’s solve each equation and assign the correct color.

🎨 Final Coloring Guide:



Now, use this to color the sections:

#### 🟫 Brown (9, 10, 11, 13, 17):
- 4+7=11
- 5+6=11
- 9+2=11
- 8+3=11
- 7+6=13
- 9+4=13
- 6+4=10
- 8+1=9
- 8+9=17
- 8+2=10
- 9+1=10
- 3+6=9
- 5+9=14 → Wait: 14 is Green, not Brown!

Wait — correction:

> 5+9 = 14 → Green
> 6+8 = 14 → Green

So let's fix:

Brown:
- 4+7=11
- 5+6=11
- 9+2=11
- 8+3=11
- 7+6=13
- 9+4=13
- 6+4=10
- 8+1=9
- 8+9=17
- 8+2=10
- 9+1=10
- 3+6=9
- 7+3=10
- 6+6=12 → No, 12 is Sky Blue

Wait! Let’s recheck all answers carefully.
