Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: This Halloween math puzzle is stumping people
Let's solve this step by step.

We are given 3 equations with Halloween symbols: ghosts (G), pumpkins (P), and bats (B). We need to find the value of the final expression:
P + G × B = ?

---

Step 1: Solve for Ghost (G)



First equation:
G + G + G = 12
→ 3G = 12
G = 4

---

Step 2: Solve for Pumpkin (P)



Second equation:
G + P + P = 20
We know G = 4, so:
→ 4 + 2P = 20
→ 2P = 16
P = 8

---

Step 3: Solve for Bat (B)



Third equation:
P + B + B = 14
We know P = 8, so:
→ 8 + 2B = 14
→ 2B = 6
B = 3

---

Step 4: Evaluate the Final Expression



Now we compute:
P + G × B

Substitute values:
→ 8 + 4 × 3

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

So:
→ 8 + (4 × 3) = 8 + 12 = 20

---

Final Answer: 20
