Let’s solve this step by step.
We have symbols:
- Heart puzzle piece (let’s call it
H)
- Potion bottle with hearts (
P)
- Teddy bear (
B)
- Envelope with heart (
E)
And we’re given these equations:
1. H + P = B
2. 8 = H + H → so 2 × H = 8
3. B = E × 3
4. P - H = 1
5. Final: B + E × P = ?
---
Start with equation 2:
8 = H + H
That means
H = 4
Now use equation 4:
P - H = 1
Plug in H = 4 → P - 4 = 1 →
P = 5
Now use equation 1:
H + P = B
→ 4 + 5 =
B = 9
Now use equation 3:
B = E × 3
→ 9 = E × 3 →
E = 3
Now the final question:
B + E × P = ?
Remember order of operations — multiplication first!
So:
E × P = 3 × 5 = 15
Then add B: 9 + 15 =
24
✔ Double-check all values:
- H = 4
- P = 5
- B = 9
- E = 3
Check original equations:
1. 4 + 5 = 9 ✔️
2. 4 + 4 = 8 ✔️
3. 9 = 3 × 3 ✔️
4. 5 - 4 = 1 ✔️
Final: 9 + (3 × 5) = 9 + 15 = 24 ✔️
Final Answer:
24
