Let me solve this puzzle step by step.
I need to find the value of each symbol and then calculate the final answer.
Step 1: Find the value of the heart puzzle piece
From equation 2: 8 = heart + heart
So: 8 = 2 × heart
Therefore: heart = 4
Step 2: Find the value of the potion bottle
From equation 4: potion - heart = 1
We know heart = 4
So: potion - 4 = 1
Therefore: potion = 5
Step 3: Find the value of the teddy bear
From equation 1: heart + potion = teddy bear
We know heart = 4 and potion = 5
So: 4 + 5 = teddy bear
Therefore: teddy bear = 9
Step 4: Find the value of the envelope
From equation 3: teddy bear = envelope × 3
We know teddy bear = 9
So: 9 = envelope × 3
Therefore: envelope = 3
Step 5: Calculate the final answer
The last equation is: teddy bear + envelope × potion = ?
We have:
- teddy bear = 9
- envelope = 3
- potion = 5
Following order of operations (multiplication before addition):
9 + (3 × 5) = ?
9 + 15 = 24
Let me verify my work:
- heart = 4 ✓
- potion = 5 ✓ (5 - 4 = 1)
- teddy bear = 9 ✓ (4 + 5 = 9, and 9 = 3 × 3)
- envelope = 3 ✓
- Final: 9 + 3 × 5 = 9 + 15 = 24 ✓
Final Answer: 24
