Answer:

avocado=4

Explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following equations:

snail + snail - cellphone=avocado

maple leaf * cellphone=10

0+maple leaf=5

snail = cellphone + 1

avocado=?

This may seem confusing at first, but let's try to find the value of one of the items to help us to solve for the others

For example, we have the equation 0 + maple leaf= 5

Which means if we subtract 0 from both sides, we should get the value of the maple leaf

Which means that the maple leaf= 5

Now we know that maple leaf * cellphone = 10

So that means 5*cellphone=10

Divide by 5 on both sides

cellphone= 2

We know that snail = cellphone + 1

As we learned from above, cellphone= 2

Which means that snail = 2+1=3

We know that snail + snail - cellphone = avocado

And as calculated from above, snail = 3 and cellphone = 2

Which means:

3 + 3 - 2= avocado

Add

6-2=avocado

Subtract

4=avocado

Hope this helps!
