Yes
Autism to the rescue
>>703169184
each horse = 10 x 3 = 30... so horse (10) plus 2 sets of horseshoes (4 apiece) = 18 then horseshoes (4) - 2 (pair of boots) = 2... single boot (1) + horse (10) x single horseshoe (half of 4 or 2) = 22 actually not 44... close tho
42, because math.
>>703168843
h=horse
s=horseshoe
b=boot
h + 2s = 18 , from line 2
3h + 6s = 54
3h = 30, from line 1
6s = 24
s= 4
h + 2(4) = 18
h + 8 = 18
h = 10
4 - b = 2, from line 3
b= 2
2 + 10 * 4 = ?
2+ (10 * 4) = ?, because PEMDAS
2 + 40 = ?
The answer to the universe.
horse equals ten
horseshoe equals two
boot equals three
Good luck

Answer is still 21 though
>>703168843
It's 22
Horse = 10
Shoex2 = 4 (Shoex1 = 2)
Boot = 2
Boot + Horse*Shoex1
2 + 10*2 = 22
Why is this thread posted once a week? It's the same trick over and over.
>>703169464
Correction, 22. I missed the fact that there was only one horsehoe in the last equation.
>>703168843
lets see so three horseys make 30, so a horsey is 10!
a horsey and four horseyshoes make 18 so a horseyshoe is 2!
two horseyshoes minus two stunning boots make 2 so a boot is 1!
a horsey times a horseyshoe is 10*2 which is 20, plus a beautiful boot makes it 21!
The answer is 21

read any other post about this, idiot
horse is 10. each horseshoe is 2. each boot is 1.
1+(2*10) = 21
Everybody saying 22 has a form of brain damage, it's 21
Answer: 21
Horse: 10
(Single) HorseShoe[SHS]: 2 (Assumption, as HorseShoes: 4.)
(Single) Boot[SB]: 1 (Assumption, as Boots: 2.)
Horse (10) x SHS(2) = 20
20 + [SB] = 21
Lot of assumption though, Different symbols could mean completely different numbers.

Already corrected myself, but thanks anyways.

>>703169428
clearly multiples of a symbol should be multiplied and not added.
20 + sqrt(2) is definitely the answer you niggers
44, so easy, there are some of these much more difficult
>>703169502
variables are well defined... if you can get a multiple boot and evenly divide said value fraction or not (ie pair of boots or horseshoes to half the value, even a fraction or decimal for the singular boot/horseshoe instead) its easily solvable as 703169439 shows... 22 final answer anything else is incorrect accordingly

Do you even understand how squaring works?
Your bullshit implies two boots make 2 because your multiplying a root2 boot root2 times.
1 boot = 1
1 boot * 2 = 2
8/10 bait for making me spell this out.
9/10 for me for ruining your fun
>>703170102
im saying its the value of a boot x the value of a boot
a number x2 is the same thing as adding it to itself which is what im saying might not be the case
we dont actually know im just fucking around
neither of us are right you idiot
>>703168843
obviously saying that one shoe is worth half of two shoes is horsesheet, same goes for the boots. If you only have one it is worth nothing.
So horse = 10 + 0 for single horse shoe + 0 for single boot = 10.
what did I win?

>>703168843
faze rain did a video about this
>>703170476
Case 1: The value of a pair of boots is found by adding the value of each individual boot together.
Each boot equals 1 because 1+1 = 2.
Case 2: The value of a pair of boots is found by multiplying the value of each individual boot together.
Each boot equals sqrt(2) because sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) = 2
If only there was any convention for doing algebra with pictures of horses and boots.

Y'know, after reanalyzing the contents of this thread, I think the master troll of us all is the OP, for posing such a question knowing the thread would argue. When in actuality, all the answer could very well be is a one legged cowboy riding a retarded horse wearing only one shoe.
>>703170631
Then you'd have to do the same shit with the horseshoe. You can't have it both ways, fuckface.
>>703170522
as if there was parenthesis separating the horse and horseshoe... then it would be 21... 1+ (10 x 2)... but it isnt so just solve in process left to right... 1 + 10 = 11, then multiply by 2 for total of 22

2+2 = 4
2*2 = 4
man math is crazy
>>703170825
"2+10x^4=42"
>>703170934
Even though there may not be any parenthesis separating 1+10x2 in the way in which you describe, the next evaluation would be "Are there Exponents?" to which the answer is no, then the next step would be "Multiplication / Division" which 10 would then be multiplied by 2.

If you think the numbers have to represent anything then what is one horse 10 of?
What is one horse shoe two of?
Since the answer to both of these is nothing it's pretty clear to say that the choice of symbol is meaningless and their real world properties should not be considered when solving this autistic little problem.

Damn you ran out of believable bait. You had a good run though.
>>703170461
I realize that getting your brain cells fired up may take some time. Take your time, think about it.
You walk into a shoe shop and see a pair of boots you like for 100$. You ask the shoe guy for a pair in your size, he goes behind the counter and comes back with a single boot, it is all he has he says, he will let you have it for 50$.
Do you buy the single boot for 50$? Well, probably, you are autistic after all.
Most people would not. Two boots are worth 100$, one boot is worth nothing.

What if you owned a pair of the same boots and one of them was damaged but the other was in tact. In this case one boot would be worth something to you and you'd be willing to pay half the price of a pair for it. Don't make so many assumptions about who needs the boot when assigning it value.

>>703171501
what a random board to bag on
>>703171770
>>703168843
X + X + X = 3X = 30
So therefore
30 ÷ 3 = X
X = 10
X + Y + Y = 18
1X + 2Y = 18
Since we know X = 10 we can subtract from both sides
2Y = 8
Y = 8 ÷ 2
Y = 4
Y - Z = 2
4 - Z = 2
Z = 2
Z + X × Y = N
2 + 10 x 4
12 × 4
= 48
Most real humans have accepted 21 as an answer by now.
This answer is reached by assuming that the value of one boot or one horseshoe is HALF of the value of a pair.
Because it is not explicitly stated in the problem, we can't establish any relationship between pairs and single items.
Adding is intuitive so most people just go with that, but really it could be multiplication, or even some super autistic shit like exponents.
Basically fuck you guys we can't know who is right.
If you get any other answer than 42 then pic related applies to you
Clearly the doubled boots represent contravariant tensors and the double horseshoes are covariant.

You don't know that for sure you're just assuming because you're easily swayed by what the symbols in the problem look like in real life.
There isn't a real shoe in your monitor dude its just a symbol. Don't assume so much.
Also side note about the boot thing, the value of a pair is given first (2) so the multiplication method would give a value of sqrt(2) to each individual boot. Fuck off.

>>703173306
logic
I went with 21, but there's no sound answer.
We simply don't know what "double boots" vs "single boot" means and similarly for horseshoes. Without that definition, the answer is ambiguous.
The natural solution would be to assume doubling a symbol implies a coefficient of two. I venture to bet this is what the puzzle's maker intended, as it slights those of us who are used to algebra and allows for an easy trap answer of 42.
As others have said it could imply multiplication of the symbol with itself, so exponentiation.
Indeed, the doubled symbol and singular symbol could even be completely separate (and poorly chosen) variables, which wouldn't result in a unique answer at all.
>>703173327
its illogical to make assumptions

we have gone over that, I am just telling you how much a single boot is worth it "to me".
Math is much easier when you are an egotistical bastard
Horse = 10 (10x3 =30)
10 + 4 + 4 = 18, so horseshoe = 4
4-2 = 2, so Boot = 2
2 + 10 x 4 = X
Therefore X = 12x4 = 48

It changes feom 2 boots and 2 horseshoes to 1 boot and 1 horseshoe. The values in the equation change. The answer is 21.

That's not the question though. Stop reading too much into it. Each pair is assigned a number. Then that number gets divided as one from the pair gets taken away. Its not hard

>>703174200
nice argument
>>703174177
Ok stay with me on this. You and your brother are sitting on a tree. You fall because you are retarded. How many people are still on the tree?
>>703174066
we already did this upthread. I feel like I am in groundhog day
If I am looking for a replacement I am not offering more than 25%. It is not like you can sell that boot to anybody else any time soon.
3 x HORSE = 30
HORSE = 30 / 3 = 10
10 + 2 x HORSESHOE = 18
HORSESHOE = ( 18 - 10 ) / 2 = 4
4 - BOOTS = 2
BOOTS = 4 - 2 = 2
2 + 10 x 4 = 42

>How many people are still on the tree?
you never told us how many were there in the first place.
just that two people were there.

It's 23 you dumb sonsofbitches
>>703174296
take a hundred dollar bill and cut it in half. Try to sell that half on craigslist for 50$
>>703174338
Look at the equation again. 1 boot=1
1 horseshoe=2
>>703174444
rekt with 4 4s.
>>703174373
You can't be this dumb...there were 2 people total in the tree. You and your brother....
>>703174444
Are you retarded? I know this is most likely bait. But are you retarded. What does a 100$ have to do with this equation?
>>703174502
you didnt say that.
you just said me and my brother.
there could have easily been a mexican family living there.
welcome to scientific theory by the way.
this is why youre a sports medicine major
>>703174578
what do trees have to do with the equation
>>703174622
Wait, there is an equation?
>>703174578
you are claiming that one boot is worth half as much as two boots.
I am giving you an example where half as much of something is worth nothing.
To me, one boot is worth nothing. I would definitely not pay half as much for a single boot as I would for two boots.

All of mathematics is built upon axioms. We don't worry about it with everyday algebra, but it's there. Check out Peano for an especially pedantic read.
>>703168843
3x=30
x=10
10+2y=18
2y=8
y=4
4-z=2
z=2
z'+10y'=0
z'=-10y'
there's the answer.
>>703173673
Thats because its wrong
>>703174666
hectically it's asking for an expression.
but yes, satan
>>703174586
Obviously if i didn't mention a mexican family then there wasn't one.
This is why im in college and you won't get into one.
>>703174685
Then you're not even attempting to solve the equation. B8 confirmed
>>703174754
the picture didnt say the value of half of something.
so there is none.
that's why im a stem grad and you're confused at remedial algebra.
>>703174828
It's implied.
>don't believe that you ever got into college with your logic
>>703174814
That is not true!
Since a single boot is worth nothing to me the equation becomes:
0+10*2= 20
that may change as the true value of 1 horse shoe comes to light though.
>>703174898
yeah it's implied that you were an accident and your mom doesnt want you yet here you are
As an algebraic symbol, a single horseshoe is of unknown value. This argument is pointless.
Jesus Christ. It's been over 30 years since I took an algebra class and even I can figure out it's 21.
Horse = X = 10
Horseshoe = Y = 2
Boot = Z = 1
X + X + X = 10 + 10 +10 = 30
X = 2Y + 2Y = 10 + (2x2) + (2x2) = 10 + 4 + 4 = 18
2Y - 2Z = (2x2) - (2x1) = 4 - 2 = 2
Z + XY = 1 + (10x2) = 1 + 20 = 21.
It's like this place is infested with retards that think an airplane can't take off if it's on a giant treadmill.
>>703176018
>X = 2Y + 2Y = 10 + (2x2) + (2x2) = 10 + 4 + 4 = 18
Sorry, that should have been "X + 2Y + 2Y = 10 + (2x2) + (2x2) = 10 + 4 + 4 = 18"
I shall now kill myself because of a typo. I hope you assholes are happy.
