Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf Star = 14}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let snowman be x , star be y and shopping bag be z.
So, the given equations are:
1) x + y = 20 (Eq. 1)
2) z = x + x
z = 2x (Eq. 2)
3) z + x = 18 (Eq. 3)
Put Eq. (2) in Eq. (3)
2x + x = 18
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3
x = 18 / 3
x = snowman = 6
Now, Put x in (Eq. 1)
6 + y = 20
Subtract 6 to both sides
y = 20 - 6
y = 14
So,
Star = 14
