Answer:

puzzle 1:

triangle = 8, diamond = 3, star = 11

puzzle 2:

triangle = 2, diamond = 5, star = 5

Explanation:

puzzle 1:

triangle + diamond + star = 22

triangle / 2 = 4

star - diamond = triangle

2 + diamond + diamond = triangle

triangle = 8, as 8/2 = 4

diamond = 3, as 2 + 3 + 3 = 8 which is the value of triangle

star is 11, as 11 - 3 = 8, which is the value of triangle

thus, 8 + 3 + 11 = 22 which verifies that our puzzle is solved correctly.

puzzle 2:

star = diamond

(star / diamond) * triangle = 20

triangle * triangle * diamond = 2 * star * triangle

star * diamond = 25

star = diamond = 5, as 5 * 5 = 25

triangle = 2, as (5 + 5) * triangle = 20

10 * triangle = 20

triangle = 20/10 = 2

2 * 2 * 5 = 2 * 5 * 2

20 = 20

this verifies that our puzzle is correct
