Let's solve this puzzle step by step.

We are given a series of equations using symbols. Our goal is to find the value of each symbol and then compute the final expression:

---

Step 1: Assign variables to symbols



Let’s assign variables to each unique symbol:

- Let H = Heart with puzzle piece (❤️ with puzzle)
- Let V = Vial with hearts (vial symbol)
- Let T = Teddy bear
- Let E = Envelope with heart

---

Now, write down the equations based on the image:

1. H + V = T
2. 8 = H + H2H = 8
3. T = E × 3
4. V - H = 1
5. T + E × V = ? ← This is the question we need to solve.

---

Step 2: Solve the equations



#### From equation (2):
2H = 8
H = 4

---

#### Use H = 4 in equation (4):
V - H = 1
V - 4 = 1
V = 5

---

#### Use H and V in equation (1):
H + V = T
4 + 5 = T
T = 9

---

#### Use T = 9 in equation (3):
T = E × 3
9 = E × 3
E = 3

---

Now we have all values:
- H = 4
- V = 5
- T = 9
- E = 3

---

Step 3: Solve the final equation



T + E × V = ?

Remember order of operations (PEMDAS): multiplication before addition.

So:
- E × V = 3 × 5 = 15
- T + 15 = 9 + 15 = 24

---

Final Answer: 24



---

Answer: ? = 24
