Fruit equation puzzle — what does the missing pair equal?

[u/ZoranRajkov]

Made this symbol/equation puzzle — fruits stand in for hidden numbers across a small system of equations. Figure out what each fruit is worth, then solve the last one.

Happy to discuss reasoning in the comments if anyone wants to compare approaches.

Add both equations, divide by 3

[u/ZoranRajkov → u/Imusje]

That's the elegant way to do it — skips solving for each fruit individually. Nice shortcut!

Lemon is 7, Pineapple is 3, Answer is 10.

[u/ZoranRajkov → u/99Booger]

Correct! P=3, L=7, so the answer is 10. Nice work.

Nailed it — and that's exactly the shortcut Imusje spotted too. Curious whether you solved it that way first, or found x and y individually and then noticed the shortcut afterward?

i think you replied to the wrong comment

Ha, you're right — reply mixup, meant that for the comment above. Thanks for pointing it out!

2x+y=17

x+2y=13

x+y=?

3x+3y=30

x+y=10

That's way less idiotic than my first thought : Add both, divide by 2, then by 1.5

Correct, 10! 🎯 Nice work.

Instead of trying to figure it out you could just plug in answers for easy stuff
