Answer:
tree = 8
snowman = 1
deer = 4
snowflake = 4
Explanation:
say t = tree, s = snowman, d = deer, f = snowflake
1. For 2d + f, since you know d is equal to f, replace the snowflake with a deer, turning the equation into 3d = 12. To find the value of d divide by 3 on both sides. This will result in 4. So, the value of deer = 4.
2. Now, find the value of the snowman using the value of the deer.
4-3 = 1. This means the value of the snowman = 1.
3. Plug in the value of the snowman into 2t + s = 17.
2t + 1 = 17
Subtract on both sides to get 2t by itself and then simplify
2t = 17 -1 --> 2t = 16
Divide by 2 on both sides to find the value of the tree
2t/2 = 16/2 --> t = 8
