The answer of the above equation is 14.
Explaination:
Let the orange-yellow ice cream be, A
The ice cream cone be, B
The watermelon ice cream be, C
Rewrite the given equations in terms of ‘A’,’ B’ & ‘C’
A * A * A = B; Equation(1)
C * C * C = 27; Equation(2)
C * A * C = 18; Equation(3)
Equation(4); B + B + B = ?
Now, Simplify equation(2);
C * C * C = 27
C3 = 27
Watermelon, C = 3
Substitute, the value of C in equation(3);
C * A * C = 18
3 * A * 3 = 18
9 A = 18
A = 2
Moving forward, we have the values of A & C , so we can find the value of B from equation(1);
A * A * A = B
2 * 2 * 2 = B
8 = B
B = 8
Now, substitute the value of B in equation(4) ;
B + B + B = ?
= 8 + 8 + 8
= 24
B + B + B = 24
