To solve this puzzle, we need to determine the value of each symbol and then use those values to find the value of the question mark (?). Let's break it down step by step.

Symbols:


1. Heart (❤️): Represented as a broken heart.
2. Flask (🧪): A flask with hearts on it.
3. Teddy Bear (🧸): A teddy bear with a heart on its belly.
4. Envelope (💌): An envelope with a heart on it.

Equations:


1. Equation 1: Heart + Flask = Teddy Bear
\[
\text{Heart} + \text{Flask} = \text{Teddy Bear}
\]

2. Equation 2: 8 = Heart + Heart
\[
8 = \text{Heart} + \text{Heart}
\]

3. Equation 3: Teddy Bear = Envelope × 3
\[
\text{Teddy Bear} = \text{Envelope} \times 3
\]

4. Equation 4: Flask - Heart = 1
\[
\text{Flask} - \text{Heart} = 1
\]

5. Equation 5: Teddy Bear + Envelope × Flask = ?
\[
\text{Teddy Bear} + \text{Envelope} \times \text{Flask} = ?
\]

Step-by-Step Solution:



#### Step 1: Solve for Heart (❤️)
From Equation 2:
\[
8 = \text{Heart} + \text{Heart}
\]
\[
8 = 2 \times \text{Heart}
\]
\[
\text{Heart} = \frac{8}{2} = 4
\]

So, the value of the Heart is:
\[
\text{Heart} = 4
\]

#### Step 2: Solve for Flask (🧪)
From Equation 4:
\[
\text{Flask} - \text{Heart} = 1
\]
Substitute the value of Heart:
\[
\text{Flask} - 4 = 1
\]
\[
\text{Flask} = 1 + 4 = 5
\]

So, the value of the Flask is:
\[
\text{Flask} = 5
\]

#### Step 3: Solve for Teddy Bear (🧸)
From Equation 1:
\[
\text{Heart} + \text{Flask} = \text{Teddy Bear}
\]
Substitute the values of Heart and Flask:
\[
4 + 5 = \text{Teddy Bear}
\]
\[
\text{Teddy Bear} = 9
\]

So, the value of the Teddy Bear is:
\[
\text{Teddy Bear} = 9
\]

#### Step 4: Solve for Envelope (💌)
From Equation 3:
\[
\text{Teddy Bear} = \text{Envelope} \times 3
\]
Substitute the value of Teddy Bear:
\[
9 = \text{Envelope} \times 3
\]
\[
\text{Envelope} = \frac{9}{3} = 3
\]

So, the value of the Envelope is:
\[
\text{Envelope} = 3
\]

#### Step 5: Solve for the Question Mark (?)
From Equation 5:
\[
\text{Teddy Bear} + \text{Envelope} \times \text{Flask} = ?
\]
Substitute the values of Teddy Bear, Envelope, and Flask:
\[
9 + 3 \times 5 = ?
\]
Follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
\[
9 + (3 \times 5) = ?
\]
\[
9 + 15 = ?
\]
\[
? = 24
\]

Final Answer:


\[
\boxed{24}
\]
