I learned in school that point calculation always takes precedent over line calculation. A bracket only makes sense for exceptions, so if the line calculation is set in brackets, then the bracket is calculated. ππ«
And my school days were over 40 years ago. π
@siti_payung you're also a math professional, how do you see that? π€
Here is my (over-thought and most likely wrong, but thoroughly documented) answer And could my reply be any longer?π

at first, it appears the palm trees are all the same, so the easy answer would be if each palm tree is worth X, the we have X + X + X = 30, or 3X = 30, and the equation solves for X=10.However, closer inspection reveals the third palm tree is actually horizontally reversed from the other two. What does that mean? I can only think it means the third tree's value is reversed from the other two. So if the value of tree 1 and tree 2 are X, then the value of the third 3 is -X. So X + X + =X or X + X - X = 30, which solves for X = 30.
The next section of the puzzle features a palm tree, non reversed, so it must equal 30. Next we have two planters and in the third spot, two planters again, which appear identical. So the equation is X + 2Y + 2Y = 38, we know X=30, so solving:
30 + 2Y + 2Y = 38
2Y + 2Y = 8 (subtracting 30 from each side)
4Y = 8
Y = 8/4
Y = 2, so each Planter = 2
Next section, three identical (as far as I can tell) coffee cups = 18, so
Z + Z + Z = 18
3Z = 18, and
Z=6, and thus each coffee cup = 6
Finally, we have a single planter, plus a non reversed palm tree in a single planter multiplied by a single coffee cup, like so:
X + (30 + 2) X Z
X + 32 X 6 (add inside Parenthesis first)
X + 192 (multiplication first)
30 + 192 = 222
So my answer is 222
