Horse is 10
Horseshoe is 4 (so 1 of them is 2)
Boots are 2 (so 1 boot is 1)

Wait: are the horses WEARING horseshoes as well?

>>732021406
1 shoe not 2 in the last one maggot

>>732021350
Yep - this is it - 21 - assuming each horseshoe is worth the same and each cowboy BOOT is worth the same...life is full of assumptions

>>732021698
You could make the same argument for one horse and one horseshoe too. Assumptions - assumptions everywhere!!!

>>732021778
Here's a question - which part of an equation do you execute first - addition or multiplication?

Motherfuckers the horses are wearing shoes too

>>732021035
Unsolvable.
There is a value given to the pair of horse shoes and pair of boots, but none given for a single horse shoe or single boot.
There are no assumptions in true math problems.
So this problem is incomplete.
You're welcome.

>>732021866
Air Jordans most likely!

>>732021795
you can't
3 horses=30 /3
1 horse have to be 10
18-10=8 both horseshoes are the same so they have to be 4 each
horseshoe-boots= 2
4-boots=2
boots=2
1 boot can be anything, others can't

>>732021035

horse - x
horseshoe - y
boot - z

3x = 30
=> x = 10

x + 2y = 18
=> 10 + 2y = 18
=> 2y = 8
=> y = 4

y - z = 2
=> 4 - z = 2
=> 4 - 2 = z
=> z = 2

so

z + xy =>
2 + 10 x 4 =>
2 + 40 =>
42

horse = 10
horseshoe = 2
boot = 1

1 + 10*2 = 21

The common mistake ppl make is not realizing that there are only one boot and one horse shoe on the bottom.

>>732021904
Thanks Maui.
Your analysis is incomplete - arguably no value is given for one horse either. Let's figure out other possible answers based on different assumptions.

>>732022034
Close - except there is ONE horseshoe and ONE boot at the end.
THERE'S A SNAKE IN MY BOOOOOOT!

48, 1 horse is 10
one horseshoe(?) is 4
a pair of boots is 2
doesn't take a genius to solve this..

>>732022245
Agreed.

>>732021904
What kind of bollocksology is this? If 3 of the same thing add to 30 then 1 of it is 10.

>>732021528
how the fuck is the horse anything but 10 if horse x 3 = 30?

>>732022173
>>732022245

Yeah, and I worked out the value of 1 horseshoe and 1 boot.

>>732022279
"There are no assumptions in true math problems" may be the stupidest thing I read today. But I don't agree with "3 of the SAME thing add to 30 then 1 of it is 10" - we are making an assumption that they are the same. What if one horse is 9, one is 11, and one is 10 - ERK!

>>732022173
>>732022245

>>732022360
Sorry, you're right I didn't spot that.

horse=10
2*horseshoe=4
horseshoe=2
2*boot=2
boot=1

10+10+10=30
10+(2+2)+(2+2)=18
(2+2)-(1+1)=2

boot+horse*horseshoe=11
1+10*2=21

answer is 21

horse = 10
pair of horse shoes = 4
pair of boots = 2
horse shoe = 2
boot = 1
1 + 10 x 2
PEMDAS makes us multiply first
20 + 1

The answer is 21. I didn't realize the boot and horseshoe in the final line were halved from the lines above because I'm an unobservant simpleton.

You're lookin into it a bit too much dude. It's a picture problem, horse means horse.

>>732021035
16. Horse =10 horse shoe =4 boot = 2

>>732022489
Although I agree with this answer - I still say we're making HYUUUGE assumptions about the value of one based on the value of many. The horses could be 8, 8, and 14 - the boots could be .5 and 1.5 - and the horsesnots could be 3 and 1. In this shitty pixelated picture are the 3 horses ACTUALLY identical? Doubtful - Senor JPEG compression ensured that!

>>732022759
Your two errors are not looking at the signs (addition and multiplication in the last equation) and the number of boots and horseshoes (singular in the last equation).

>>732022836
In a math problem x always equals x, so why is it not safe to assume that horse equals horse. Variables are for notation.

>>732022750
I've been accused of that before. Like by my second grade teacher when her pants ripped and her snatch was showing. "Trevor, you're looking into it a bit too much dude!" WOW, that really takes me back!

>>732022916
Great point. At some point you have to make an assumption. And generally in shitty math problems yes, x equals x - otherwise the whole thing falls apart quickly. When I take a step on a sidewalk I've never been on before I assume that it will be made of concrete and be hard and support my weight. Good assumptions and probably for the rest of my shitty life true - but...you never know. Ask one of the fuckers that fell into a sinkhole!!! HAHAHA!

TREVOR!!!!! God given, and god taken.

>>732021035
tell him you have better things to do than partake in silly childish puzzles.

>>732023044
In the last line there's a single horseshoe and a single boot so you have to half the number you worked out in the above lines which gives 21 you utter defective.

>>732023165
And you have ignored the number of objects in the final equation - TRY AGAIN!

>>732021035

3x = 30
x = 10
one horse is worth 10

10 + 4y = 18
y = 2
one horse shoe is worth 2

2*2 - 2z = 2
2 - z = 1
z = 1
one boot is worth 1

1 + 10 * 2 = 21

I wouldn't want to work for your boss, this test is stupid.

>>732021035
Horse = 10
>10+10+10=30
Horseshoes individually equal 2
>10+4+4=18
Single shoes are worth 1

So we end with 1+10*2

PEMDAS that bitch so we multiply to get
>1+20

which gives us
>21

>>732023106
THIS MAN SPEAKS THE TRUTH. Now we're getting somewhere. If the horseshoes are different - then they don't necessarily equal the same. Could be 3 and 1 or .5 and 2.5 or 3.75 and .25 - who knows!!! What do the values mean anyway - weight, height, cost, worth? WHERE AM I!!!

>>732023498
It's because the usual trick is the order of operations so this tried to add in another trick by subtly changing the final line because most people aren't going to pay attention to the difference between one boot and a pair.

>>732021035
10 + 10 + 10 = 30
10 + 4 + 4 = 18
4 - 2 = 2
2 + (10 x 2) = 24

Note there is only one horseshoe, thus 2 NOT 4. Also x goes before +

i solved for variables one at a time. then i double-checked doing system of equations. posted results, found out there was something else. look back, see in the last line the images are changed (which, if you don't agree on symbols would mean the problem has no solution). use same numbers and re-do last line, get 21. total time elapsed: one minute?

(substract 2)

>>732026203
And knowing is half the battle! Wait a minute... the creator of GI Joe died today! Now it all makes sense!

Let's see what we have there.

Horse is 10, obviously. 10+10+10=30

Double horseshoe is 4, 10+4+4=19. That makes a single horseshoe a 2 (omitted multiplication sign, 2x2=4).

Double boots is 2, 4-2=2. That makes a single boot sqrt(2) (omitted multiplication sign).

Thus the final result is: sqrt(2) + 10x2 = ca. 21.4142... Though sqrt(2) could also be negative, giving 20 - sqrt(2) as a second possible solution.

>>732027167
uh, the single horseshoe could also be negative, that give 4 possible solutions in total.

Oh shit, nevermind it is NOT 42. I just realized there are two horseshoes at first, then at the end there's one horseshoe. So it would be 2 + (10 * 2) = 22

>>732021035
10+10+10=30
10+4+4=18
4-2=2
2+10*4=40+2=42

There's also only one boot. This puzzle is tricky.

Uh, a typing error. Sue me.

Two boots multiplicated equal 2, that makes sqrt(2) for the single boot. Multiplication is omitted, it's like 2a equals 2 x a.

Just fuckin stop already. You're never going to win. We all know it's still just you.

>>732021035
you niggers can't math

22, geez

Horse + Horse + Horse = 30
So the Horse is 10
Horse + (double) Horseshoe + (double) Horseshoe = 18
So the Horseshoe is 2 (two horseshoes are 4)
(double) Horseshoe - (double) boot = 2
So the Boot is 1 (two boots are 2)
(single) Boot + Horse x (single) Horseshoe = 21
BECAUSE according to order of operations, multiplication comes before addition. Hence 10x2, and then +1.

I'm only seeing 21...where are these other answers coming from? pay attention to the number of items and the value established for them by the first 3 equations, then use order of operations - Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction

>>732031788
The only viable answer I see is 12, how are you getting 21?

>>732021035
X+X+X=30
X=10

X+(Y*2)+(Y*2)=18
10+(Y*2)+(Y*2)=18
(Y*2)+(Y*2)=8
Y+Y=4
Y=2

(Y*2)-(Z*2)=2
(2*2)-(Z*2)=2
(4)-(Z*2)=2
(2)-(Z)=1
(Z)=1

Z+X*Y=Q
1+10*2=Q
order of operations
1+(10*2)=Q
1+20=Q
Q=21

>>732021035
first question= each horse = 10
second question = 10 + each horseshoe is 4
third question= one horseshoe, 4, - one boot, the answer is 2. so that means the boot is worth 2.
2 + 10 = 12 x 4 = 48

This you fucking morons

Aight yall are dumbasses. This is how its done.

x = horse
y = horseshoe
z = boot

x + x + x = 30
30 / 3 = x
x = 10

x + 2y + 2y = 18
10 + 2y + 2y = 18
since there are 2 horseshoes
10 + (2+2) + (2+2) = 18
y = 2

2y - 2z = 2
2y = 4
4 - 2z = 2
z = 1

and now the final

z + x * y = ??
1 + 10 * 2 = ??
According to orders of operation, multiplication is done before addition.
10 * 2 = 20
1 + 20 = 21

Final answer = 21

>>732021161
dumbass

>>732034044
dubs checks out

>>732033384
oh my fucking god anon how retarded are you?

Horse = 10
Horseshoes = 4
Boots = 2
2+10x4
2+40
42

Did I did it?

>>732034247

The moment I posted that I realized there was only 1 boot. Guess I didn't did it.

(Answer actually is 41)
