Question

What would the shapes equal?
​

Answer 1

Club = 7

Diamond = 6

Spade = 2

Heart = 5

Step-by-step explanation

Here it shows that 1 club + 1 diamond + 1 spade is equal to 15. Ok, let's get back to that one later.

In the next hint it shows that 3 clubs equals 21. So, in order to get the value of the club, divide 21 by 3, and you'll get 7. This means that 7 is the value of the club.

Now on to the third hint. Here it shows that 1 diamond plus 2 clubs are equal to 20. We already got the value of the club, which is 7, so add 7+7 and you'll get 14. Then, subtract 14 from 20 and you'll get the value of the diamond, which is 6.

Finally, the fourth hint. Here it shows that 1 diamond + 1 heart + 1 spade = 13. So, inorder to get the value of the heart, add the value of the diamond and the spade, which sums up to 8. Then subtract 8 from 13 and you'll get the value of the heart, which is 5.

Answer 2

• ♧ = 7
• ♢ = 6
• ♡ = 5
• ♤ = 2

Explanation:

The second equation tells you ...

♧ = 21/3 = 7

The third equation tells you ...

♢ = 20 -2(7) = 6

Then the first equation tells you ...

♤ = 15 -7 -6 = 2

Finally, the last equation tells you ...

♡ = 13 -6 -2 = 5
