The answer of the above equation is 26.
Explaination:
Let the star diagram be, S
Let the hexagon with triangle & circle be, H
the triangle with the circle be, T
the normal circle be, C
& Normal hexagon be, Hx
Normal hexagon with triangle be, Ht
Rewriting all equations, in the above abbreviations,
S + S + S = 36, Equation (1)
H + H + S = 30, Equation (2)
T + T + H = 15, Equation (3)
2C + 2C + Hx = 14, Equation (4)
S + Ht * C =?, Equation (5)
Now, initiating with equation (1),
S + S + S = 36
3S = 36
S = 12
Substitute, the value of S in equation (2),
H + H + S = 30
2H + 12 = 30
2H = 18
H = 9
Similarly, solve equation (3);
T + T + H = 15
2T + 9 = 15
2T = 6
T = 3
We know that a normal hexagon + triangle with the circle = H i.e.,
Hx = H - T
Hx = 9 – 3
Hexagon, Hx = 6
Now substitute above values in equation (4),
2C + 2C + Hx = 14
4C + 6 = 14
4C = 8
C = 2
From above equations, we can conclude,
H – C = Ht
9 – 2 = Ht
Ht = 7,
Now substitute the values for final equation (5),
S + Ht * C =?
= 12 + 7 * 2
= 12 + 14
S + Ht * C = 26
