1) A heart is equal to 5 units, a star to 13 units and a square to 20 units.
2) A star is equal to 66 units, a circle to 30 units and a triangle to 14 units.
How to solve a system of symbols by abstract thinking
Herein we find two case of systems of elements which have to be solved on the fact that each element represents a quantity. Now we proceed to represent each system:
Case 1
x - Heart
y - Star
z - Square
The algebraic representation of the system is shown below:
18 - x = y (1)
2 · x = 10 (2)
z - y - 2 = x (3)
By (2):
x = 5
By (1):
y = 18 - 5
y = 13
By (3):
z = x + y + 2
z = 5 + 13 + 2
z = 20
Case 2
x - Triangle
y - Star
z - Circle
The algebraic representation of the system is shown below:
2 · x = 28 (1)
80 - x = y (2)
y + x - z = 50 (3)
By (1):
x = 14
By (2):
y = 80 - 14
y = 66
By (3):
z = y + x - 50
z = 66 + 14 - 50
z = 30
