Environment is no one’s

property to destroy; it’s

everyone’s responsibility
to protect
- Mohith Agadi

Climate change is the

environmental challenge
of this generation, and it
is imperative that we act
before it’s too late.

Representation:

Constant Object
a Tree
b Black bear
c Water droplet

Equations:

{
Eq 1: 5a = 80
Eq 2: 2a + (3b) = 68
Eq 3: 6a + b – c = 130
Eq 4: b(a + 3c) = 580

Solutions:

Row 1: Row 3:
5a = 80 6a + b – c
5𝑎 80
= 6 (16) + 10 – c = 92
5 5
a = 16 96 + 10 – c = 92
106 – c = 92
-c = 92 – 106
14 = c

Row 2: Row 4:
2a (3b) b (a + 3c) = 580
(2(16)) (3b) = 62
10 (16 + 3 (14)) = 580
32 (3b) = 62
10 (16 + 42) = 580
3b = 62 – 32
10 (58) = 580
3𝑏 30
=
3 3

b = 10
