Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a set of equations with shapes representing numbers. Our goal is to find the value of each shape and then compute the final expression.

Step 1: Look at the first equation
🟥 + 🟥 = 10
That means two red squares equal 10.
So, one red square = 10 ÷ 2 =
5
✔ Red Square (🟥) = 5
---
Step 2: Second equation
🟥 × 🔵 = 15
We know 🟥 = 5, so:
5 × 🔵 = 15
→ 🔵 = 15 ÷ 5 =
3
✔ Blue Circle (🔵) = 3
---
Step 3: Third equation
🔵 + 🟩 = 8
We know 🔵 = 3, so:
3 + 🟩 = 8
→ 🟩 = 8 - 3 =
5
✔ Green Triangle (🟩) = 5
Wait — that’s the same as the red square? Let’s keep going and check if that makes sense.

Step 4: Fourth equation
🟩 × ⚪ = 20
We have 🟩 = 5, so:
5 × ⚪ = 20
→ ⚪ = 20 ÷ 5 =
4
✔ White Circle (⚪) = 4
---
Step 5: Fifth equation
⚪ + 🟨 = 9
We have ⚪ = 4, so:
4 + 🟨 = 9
→ 🟨 = 9 - 4 =
5
✔ Yellow Diamond (🟨) = 5
Again, another 5? That’s okay — different shapes can have same values unless told otherwise.
---
Step 6: Sixth equation
🟨 × 🟦 = 30
We have 🟨 = 5, so:
5 × 🟦 = 30
→ 🟦 = 30 ÷ 5 =
6
✔ Blue Square (🟦) = 6
---
Now, let’s look at the final expression we need to solve:
> 🟥 + 🔵 × 🟩 + ⚪ + 🟨 + 🟦
But wait — order of operations matters! Multiplication comes before addition.
So rewrite it with parentheses for clarity:
= 🟥 + (🔵 × 🟩) + ⚪ + + 🟦
Plug in the values:
= 5 + (3 × 5) + 4 + 5 + 6
Calculate inside parentheses first:
= 5 + 15 + 4 + 5 + 6
Now add left to right:
5 + 15 = 20
20 + 4 = 24
24 + 5 = 29
29 + 6 =
35

Final Answer:
35
