Oh, this is that stupid problem where they're deliberately vague with how the fruits represent numbers. You could get tons of different solutions depending entirely on how you interpret the problem.
Do you just ignore the state of the fruit and assume a picture of a bundle of bananas represents one quantity regardless of whether there are three or four bananas in the bundle?
Do you assume one half-coconut is the value of a coconut or the value of half a coconut?
Do you assume four bananas represents a "full" value and three is merely 3/4 of said value?
This problem is stupid and so is anyone who wastes time on it. There is no objectively correct solution.
apple is 10
banana is 4
coconut is 6
10+4+6=20
wow, so amazing.... ZzzzZzz
3x=30
x+4y+4y=18

>>7965024
>3x=30
Yes, apple = 10
x=10
>x+4y+4y=18
Yes, banana = 1
y=1
>y-z=2
Should be 4y-z=2 so z=2
>0.5z+x+3y=12.5
so 0.5 * 2 + 10 + 3 = 14
>>7965019
>Do you just ignore the state of the fruit and assume a picture of a bundle of bananas represents one quantity regardless of whether there are three or four bananas in the bundle?
Only if you have a severe learning disability.
Obviously there's a reason the number of bananas per bunch varies.

The answer is 20 any other answer is wrong.
Apple=10

Answer is 15
umm... its a banana-coloda; just add rum. duh

Actually the coconut = 3
So the right answer is 17.
>>7964948

3 apples = 30 => 1 apple = 10
1 apple + 8 bananas = 18 => 1 banana = 1
4 bananas - 2 coconuts = 2 => coconut = 1
coconut + apple + 3 bananas = 1 + 10 + 3 = 14 ez
>>7964948
Rearrange the third so a coconut = banana -2.
Sub in to the last so Apple + 2 banana - 2 = ?
We know Apple + 2 banana = 18
Therefore ? = 16.
>>7967388
Two coconuts in III don't equal one coconut in IV
>>7965019
You state all reasonable assumptions and do the math for each set of assumptions
each apple = 10
each banana = 1
each coconut = 1
1 coconut + 1 apple + 3 bananas = 14
Apple image = 10
Four bananas image = 4
Two halves of a coconut image = 2
Three bananas image = unknown
One half of a coconut image = unknown
The variables for the final answer change, you can't make assumptions especially when an apple being 10 shows that the value is not related to the number of fruit in the image
>>7964948
apple=10
4 bananas=4
two coconut halves=2
one coconut halve=1
3 bananas=3
1 coconut halve (1) + one apple (10) + 3bananas (3) = 14

4y - 2z = 2
x = 10
y = 1

z + x + 3y = 14
>>7964983
It clearly is for you.
dingdingding we have a winner, was it really that hard people???
>>7967830
this is THE ONLY CORRECT ANSWER
20
>>7964948
Let apples be A, a single banana : B, half coconuts: C
3A = 30
A + 8B = 18
4B - 2C = 2
A + C + 3B = ?
we find A = 10, B = 1, C = 3
10 + 3 + 3 = 16 faggots
14, make a matrix and reduce it
>>7964973
But it's 15.
An apple is 10
A banana is 4
2 coconuts are 2
Therefore if we add a coconut, an apple and a banana we get 15.
>>7969500
No, you faggot.
4 bananas are 4.
3 bananas are 3.
>>7964948
3a = 30 <=> a = 10
a + 2b = 18 <=> b = 4
b - c = 2 <=> c = 2
c/2 + a + 3/4b = 2/2 + 10 + 3/4*4 = 1+10+3 = 14

Why do you decide that half the coconut is a different value than the whole coconut but 4 bananas equal 3 bananas?

apple = 10
coconut half = 1
and bananas are for niggers and chimps so we don't count them.

That is just your assumption. It is a very reasonable one. It makes perfect sense. But that doesn't also mean it is correct.
Stricktly speaking every symbol could have a discrete value independent of the number of fruit or its likeliness to other symbols.
>>7964948
This could have done well on facebook. Would have been better if it were an indeterminate system. So many normies would be confused.

Count the fruits, just not what they are you blind idiots.
(1) Apple = 10
(4) Banana = 4
(2) half a coconut = 2
Final question is
>1 half coconut + 1 apple + 3 banana
>1 + 10 + 3
>14
my first thought was:
10 + 10 + 10 = 30
10 + 4 + 4 = 18
4 - 2 = 2
1 + 10 + 2 = 13
but if you want to be an autist then you can say shit like "you can't make assumptions"

How so? The matrix method obviously provides correct outputs for the three variables (check it yourself), and the sum of them is obviously 16. In fact, any other solution is outright wrong since it's a system with a nonzero determinant and hence only a single solution vector.
Now fuck off

>>7973530

>>7973530
the joke is that the last line uses different pictures as symbols. so there is only one half of cocunut shown instead of two and only 3 bananas instead of 4.
therefor 14
apple = 10
banana = 4
coconuts = 2
coconut = 1

>Apple 10. 3*10 = 30.

15 you fucking morons
16 slowfags
Three apples = 30
So one apple must be worth 10
Apple plus two bananas = 18
We know that apple = 10
So banana = 4
Banana minus coconut = 2
Banana is 4 so...
Coconut is 2
Apple(10) + Banana(4) + Coconut(2) =16
You jelly mathfags
>>7964948
5, you autists.
16
Anyone who says anything but 14 needs to redo the problem. I'll break it down:
>30/3 = 10 value per apple
>18 - apple = 8, 8/2 groups of 4 bananas, meaning that one group of 4 bananas = 4, or 1 value per banana
>4 - coconuts = 2, meaning that a group of 2 coconuts has a value of 2, or 1 per coconut
>1 (1 coconut) + 10 (apple) + 3 (3 bananas) = 14
This is all assuming basic algebraic means that 2 units divided by 2 = 1, however under more complex math one half of a set could not necessarily equal half of the set.
I'm a pleb when it comes to math, but this just seemed pretty straightforward.

>>7964997
Ah thanks, I was wondering why I was getting 15 and no-one else was.
If my brain is functioning correctly the answer is 15.
If, however, I am an autist, then the single-coconut symbol has not yet been mapped and is therefor undefined since the single-coconut symbol -although having half of the content which the double-coconut symbol also has- is an entirely different expression, meaning that the answer is anime tiddies.

That is [math]literally[/math] the logic that /sci/ is using to conclude that the image of one coconut takes on half the value of that of the image of two coconuts.
It is literally pre-school level retarded.
the quantity of half a coconut and three bananas is not stated or implied anywhere logically.

Why would banana + banana be used instead of a larger depiction of bananas but coconut + coconut is not used in favor of a larger depiction of coconuts.
What does this say about the lower bunch of bananas with only three fingers in stead of four? Could you say the second coconut portion on the third row is larger than the first and be required to calculate its approximate volume to get your solution?
The problem is ambiguous and can have several solutions based on assumptions made.
>>7979187
Obviously, no information about [math] v [/math] is given. So the equation cannot be solved.
You seem to posit that [math] v = 1 [/math], presumably because [math] v [/math] is, visually, half of [math] w [/math]. Hopefully, in this context with classically used mathematical variables, you can see how ludicrous this is.
Yet if you "solved" OP to be 14 or 15, you should have "solved" >>7978662 to be 5, even though [math] v [/math] could be anything.
The point was to establish that thinking that the half-coconut symbol in OP is equal to 1 is as ludicrous as thinking, in >>7978662, that [math] v = 1 [/math].
Just as >>7978662 obviously has infinitely many solutions, so does OP.
No wonder why this is viral.

There are only three bananas, broski.
imo all your answers are conjecture at best as do to the technology we are using all the units AND operators are phasal

Is "integration by parts" a meme?

16?
>>7980861
NO. that's just wrong. You did define the quantities as such. there are no new variables involved even if you think like that
15, there's one coconut on the bottom
>>7981430
14, there's three bananas on the bottom
3 apple=30---> an apple=10
10+(2 Banana)+(2 Banana)=18--->a banana=2
4- (2 halfs of a coconut)=2--->1/2 of a Coconut=1
therfore---> 1+10+4=15
A = [3 0 0 30;1 8 0 18;0 4 -2 2];
B = rref(A);
ans = B(1,4) + 3*B(2,4) + B(3,4)
enter this into matlabs command window
ans = 14

3x=30
=>x=10
10+2y=18
=>2y=8
=>y=4
4 - 2z=2
=> -2z= -2
=>z=1
x+y+z=10+4+1=15
15.5 or 11.5

same anon wanted to explain for a bit
In the first row we see 3 intact apples and know that when added they equal 30, from this we can deduce that 1 apple is equal to 10.
In the second row we see 1 apple and 8 bananas, in the first bunch there are 4 bananas and in the second bunch there are 4 bananas, therefore the answer is that a single banana is equivalent to one.
In the the third row we see a bunch of 4 bananas minus 2 halves of a coconut, the answer to the equation is 2. So what ever the variable is it has to equal 2 when in a subtraction format with 4. The only things that match that are negative 2 and 6. From this we know that 2 halves of a coconut either equal -2 or 6.
In the last row it is one half of a coconut plus an apple plus a bunch of bananas. Upon closer inspection we can only see two whole bananas and we can only see half of the third banana in the background, therefore going based on what we see, once could understand that the equation is stated as half coconut plus apple plus two and a half banana.
If two halves of a coconut equal -2, then a single half is equivalent is -1. If so then the problem lies as -1 + 10 + 2.5, which equals 11.5.
If two halves of a coconut equals 6, then a half of a coconut equals 3, then the problem would be 3 +10 + 2.5, which would be 15.5.
From this information we can understand that the answer is either 15.5 or 11.5, but we don't know which to b exact because the value is a mystery. Good, got it, done.

what in the fuck are you smoking
Why the fuck is this piece of shit thread still going, it's down to two types of people - those who are willing to make assumptions and those who are not

Good summary, /thread
14+Single Coconut. Single Coconut's value can be an exponential for all we know.
