Let's solve this step by step using the given equations with fruits. We'll assign variables to each fruit and solve for their values.
Step 1: Assign variables
Let:
- Red apple =
A
- Yellow lemon =
L
- Green apple =
G
- Watermelon slice =
W
- Orange =
O
Now, write down the equations based on the image:
1.
A + L = 6
2.
G + G = 6 →
2G = 6
3.
L + 2 = W
4.
G + A = 4
5.
L + O = W
6.
L + W + O = ? ← This is what we need to find.
---
Step 2: Solve the equations
From equation (2):
2G = 6 →
G = 3
From equation (4):
G + A = 4 →
3 + A = 4 →
A = 1
From equation (1):
A + L = 6 →
1 + L = 6 →
L = 5
From equation (3):
L + 2 = W →
5 + 2 = W →
W = 7
From equation (5):
L + O = W →
5 + O = 7 →
O = 2
Now, plug into equation (6):
L + W + O = ?
→
5 + 7 + 2 = 14
---
✔ Final Answer: 14
So, the missing value is
14.
