Let's first do the shapes problem above.
To solve these types of problems, you have to make equations for each.
Here are the equations:
⭐ circle + circle = 10, which is 2(circle) = 10
⭐ circle + square + square = 12, which is circle + 2(square) = 12
⭐ circle x square - triangle x circle = circle
Try solving these equations for each shape (circle, square, triangle). Give me the answer when you are done.

@honest spear I’m confused

youve learned about solving equations, right?
like solving for a variable

nope never

nope never
i highly encourage you to learn the basics of them and their terminology. this question uses those concepts, so u need to understand equations before solving this problem.
here are some helpful resources:
barren hatch
yes but these are shapes not variables
honest spear
yes but i made equations for each
and then u have to solve the equations
to solve for the value of each shape
barren hatch
circle = 5 ?
honest spear
circle = 5 ?
yes! great
what about these:
⭐ circle * square + square = 12, which is circle + 2(square) = 12
⭐ circle x square - triangle x circle = circle
barren hatch
circle + 2(square) = 12
do i follow pemdas for this
do i add circle +2
then
divide by 12
honest spear
wait sorry
whenever u solve an equation
u have to basically do the OPPOSITE of pemdas
so first you add/subtract
and then do multiplication/division
remember the goal is to isolate the variable you are solving for. in this case, the variable is square
honest spear
no sorry
i subtracted circle from both sides of the equation to isolate 2(square)
and then i divided both sides of the equation by 2 to further isolate square
