Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf Star = 14}

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


\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
