Let’s solve for the values step by step.
Given equations:
- Red × Blue = 72
• Let R be the red heart and B be the blue heart.
• R \times B = 72 - Blue × Green = 36
• Let G be the green heart.
• B \times G = 36 - Red × Green = 32
• R \times G = 32 - Find the value of Green (G).
Step-by-step solution:
We have three equations:
- R \times B = 72
- B \times G = 36
- R \times G = 32
From equation (1), solve for R:
R = \frac{72}{B}
From equation (2), solve for G:
G = \frac{36}{B}
Substituting these values into equation (3):
\left(\frac{72}{B}\right) \times \left(\frac{36}{B}\right) = 32
\frac{72 \times 36}{B^2} = 32
\frac{2592}{B^2} = 32
B^2 = \frac{2592}{32}
B^2 = 81
B = 9
Find G:
Using B \times G = 36:
9 \times G = 36
G = \frac{36}{9} = 4
Thus, the Green heart (G) = 4.
Final Answer: 4.
