I give up what is the answer again

[drizzleRomanceGirl]

lol i love the analysis used to determine what type of apple and leaf is used in the equations

forget photoshop someone needs blender/unity so we can replicate the apple in 3d and then calculate the volume of the apple & create a realistic scenario of how much space the leaf takes up, based on thickness of apple, and determined size of leaf.

If someone creates a perfect 3D rendition of the stock image, you can calculate volume of the apple, and use the real world conclusion of how much that red delicious apple weighs, and then subtract the weight of the leaf.

create a fraction using the apple's weight without leaf on top, apple's weight with leaf on bottom, and apply it to the value of 10.

oh my gosh, this is getting out of hand

The real problem here is that finding apple proportions requires making unjustified assumptions about field of view, depth, etc.

3x = 30
x = 10

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

y - z = 1
4 - z = 1
z = 3

x + y + z = 10 + 4 + 3 = 17

Anyone who got this, congratulations, you used algebra.

congratulations: you didn't get it either

Congratulations, we hit rock bottom.

Congratulations, both of you are blind.

Here's the question again:

Here's the question again:

well, theyre both the same person,
might wanna make things clearer though

1.

A+A+A=30
a+B+B=18
B-C=1
c+A+b=??




2.

A+A+A=30
A+B+B=18
B-C=1
c+A+b=??


i mean, why even bother to notice the differences though right?
we just take a glance and solve this the way we want to self-validate the
algorithms we forgot in highschool because out of our busy lives we
become bored and want to waste the little time we have to distract us from
adverse thoughts

regardless, there are two ways to approach both images
theoretically - where we assume what a, c and b could be,
and definitively - where we precisely solve for what a, c and b exactly are.

what we wanna do is the latter

many typically, and from what i've seen, always solve for "??" theoretically. which is balls easy and is always open to debate because it's hypothesized and the content on what they are based off of vary; as any abstract concept would.

solving precisely for what a, c and b are shuts down all notions of guessing and speculation,
and that's what makes math so beautiful.

did this make things clearer?
hell nah i just wanted to waste some time while i eat this honey bbq chicken strip sandwich on texas toast
