Each of the four shapes represents a positive whole number. The sum of the shapes in each row and column is displayed at the end of each row and
column. Using this information, determine the numerical value of each shape.

The number of each of the four given shapes filled in the rows and columns are;

8 inscribed pentagon shape

6 star shapes

3 spiral shapes

5 Waves inside rectangle shape

From the diagram, we see four shapes and so let us identify them with letters;

Inscribed pentagon shape = a

Star shape = b

Spiral shape = c

Waves inside rectangle shape = d

For the first row, we see 2 stars, one inscribed pentagon and one spiral shape. Thus;

a + 2b + c = 23   .....(eq 1)

For the second row, we see 2 spiral shapes and 2 Waves inside rectangle shape. Thus;

2c + 2d = 16  ......( eq 2)

For the third row, we see 1 star, one inscribed pentagon  and 2 Waves inside rectangle shape. Thus;

a + b + 2d = 24 ....(eq 3)

For the fourth row, we see 3 spiral shapes and one star shape. Thus;

b + 3c = 15 ....(eq 4)

Looking at the columns, we see that;

First column;

2c + a + d = 19  ....(eq 5)

Second column, we have;

2b + c + d = 20  .....(eq 6)

From eq 4; b = 15 - 3c

From eq 2, we have; d = 8 - c

Putting them in eq 1 gives;

a + 2(15 - 3c) + c = 23

a + 30 - 6c + c = 23

a = 5c - 7

Putting d = 8 - c and a = 5c - 7 into eq 5 gives;

2c + 5c - 7 + 8 - c = 19

6c + 1 = 19

6c = 18

c = 3

Put 3 for c in a = 5c - 7

a = 5(3) - 7

a = 8

Put 3 for c in b = 15 - 3c

b = 15 - 3(3)

b = 6

Put 3 for c in d = 8 - c

d = 8 - 3

d = 5

Thus, we have;

8 inscribed pentagon shape

6 star shapes

3 spiral shapes

5 Waves inside rectangle shape

The pentagon shape = 8

The star shape = 6

The curl shape = 3

The wave pattern shape = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pentagon shape = w, the star shape = x, the curl shape = y, and the wave pattern shape = z

Horizontally, we have;

w + 2·x + y = 23(1)

2·y + 2·z = 16(2)

2·z + w + x = 24.. ..(3)

3·y + x = 15(4)

Vertically, we have;

2·x + z + y = 20(5)

2·y + w+ z = 19(6)

From the above equations, we have;

From equation (4), we have x = 15 - 3·y

From equation (2), we have z = 8 - y

From equation (1), we have w = 23 - (2·(15 - 3·y) + y)

∴ w = 23 - 30 + 6·y - y = 5·y - 7

w = 5·y - 7

Substituting the above values for x, and z i equation (5) gives;

2·x + z + y = 2·(15 - 3·y) + 8 - y + y = 20

30 - 6·y + 8 - y + y = 20

6·y = 30 + 8 - 20 = 18

y = 18/6 = 3

y = 3

w = 5·y - 7 = 5×3 - 7 = 8

w = 8

z = 8 - y = 8 - 3 = 5

z = 5

x = 15 - 3·y = 15 - 3×3 = 15 - 9 = 6

x = 6

Therefore, we have;

w = The pentagon shape =8

x = The star shape =6

y = The curl shape = 3, and

z = The wave pattern shape =5

part a

in a city ice cream is mostly only bought when the temperature is very high as ice cream cools down our

so we can derive the conclusion that as the temperature increases the number of ice creams sold also increases

part b

y intercept is 5

slope is 2
