This is a "color by number" puzzle. The goal is to solve the simple math problems (addition and subtraction) inside each section of the hot air balloon, then color that section with the pencil corresponding to the answer.

Here is the step-by-step solution:

1. Understand the Key: On the left side, there is a key that matches numbers 1 through 8 to specific colored pencils.
* 1 = Orange
* 2 = Green
* 3 = Yellow
* 4 = Purple
* 5 = Light Blue
* 6 = Red
* 7 = Teal
* 8 = Dark Blue

2. Solve the Math Problems: I will go through each section of the hot air balloon and calculate the result of the equation.

* Top Section:
* `5+2` = 7 → Color Teal
* `9-2` = 7 → Color Teal
* `3+4` = 7 → Color Teal

* Second Row:
* `1+6` = 7 → Color Teal
* `1+1` = 2 → Color Green
* `9-1` = 8 → Color Dark Blue
* `5-3` = 2 → Color Green
* `4+4` = 8 → Color Dark Blue
* `4-2` = 2 → Color Green
* `1+7` = 8 → Color Dark Blue
* `1+1` = 2 → Color Green
* `6-1` = 5 → Color Light Blue

* Third Row:
* `2+3` = 5 → Color Light Blue
* `4+2` = 6 → Color Red
* `5+1` = 6 → Color Red
* `2+4` = 6 → Color Red
* `7-1` = 6 → Color Red
* `3+3` = 6 → Color Red
* `8-2` = 6 → Color Red
* `1+5` = 6 → Color Red
* `2+5` = 7 → Color Teal

* Fourth Row:
* `6+1` = 7 → Color Teal
* `1+3` = 4 → Color Purple
* `8-4` = 4 → Color Purple
* `2+2` = 4 → Color Purple
* `7-3` = 4 → Color Purple
* `3+1` = 4 → Color Purple
* `6-2` = 4 → Color Purple
* `5-1` = 4 → Color Purple

* Fifth Row:
* `8-3` = 5 → Color Light Blue
* `8-5` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `4+3` = 7 → Color Teal
* `2+1` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `9-2` = 7 → Color Teal
* `4-1` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `3+4` = 7 → Color Teal
* `6-3` = 3 → Color Yellow

* Sixth Row:
* `7-5` = 2 → Color Green
* `7+1` = 8 → Color Dark Blue
* `8-6` = 2 → Color Green
* `6+2` = 8 → Color Dark Blue
* `6-4` = 2 → Color Green
* `2+6` = 8 → Color Dark Blue
* `3-1` = 2 → Color Green

* Seventh Row:
* `8-3` = 5 → Color Light Blue
* `3+2` = 5 → Color Light Blue
* `8-1` = 7 → Color Teal
* `6-1` = 5 → Color Light Blue
* `4+1` = 5 → Color Light Blue

* Basket:
* `7-6` = 1 → Color Orange
* `4-3` = 1 → Color Orange

* Clouds and Stars:
* `4-1` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `1+2` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `6-3` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `8-5` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `7-4` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `1+4` = 5 → Color Light Blue
* `2+1` = 3 → Color Yellow
* `5-2` = 3 → Color Yellow

3. Color the Image: By following the key and coloring each section with the correct color based on its math problem's answer, you will reveal a colorful hot air balloon.

The final image will be a vibrant hot air balloon with sections colored according to the solved equations. The frog with the question mark is likely just part of the illustration's theme and not part of the puzzle itself.
