Answer:

Explanation:

For the top one, we see that the snowman x snowman x snowman = 216. This is equivalent to snowman to the third power. To solve this, find the cube root of 216, which is 6.

Therefore, snowman = 6.

From here, it is easiest to jump to the fourth line, snowman + snowman x phone(?) = 54. Order of operations tells us to multiply first, then add. So, this equation can be rewritten as snowman + (snowman x phone) = 54. since we know snowman =6, we can plug that in to get 6 + (6 x phone) = 54. From here, you simply subtract 6 from both sides to get 6 x phone = 48, then divide by 6 to get phone = 8.

(I can't tell what the picture is but the blue thing)

Now, we see that the third line tells us that the cat is equal to the phone, so cat = 8.

Going back up to the second line, we can plug in the numbers we know to find 8 + girl + 8 = 106. Isolate girl, and we find that girl = 90.

Finally, now that we know all of the symbols, we can look at the bottom line. Using order of operations, this shows that ([2 x snowman] x cat) - girl + phone = ?

Plugging in the numbers we found: ([2 x 6] x 8) - 90 + 8 = ?

Simplified, we find that the answer is 14.
