    T = triangle

    S = square

    H = hexagon

    Z = trapezoid

    2T = 5H

    from this, H can be 2 only, and it follows that T = 5

    2T = Z + H

    Z = 2T - H

    Z = 2*5 - 2

    Z = 8

    T + S = Z

    S = Z - T

    S = 8 - 5

    S = 3

    The value of the square is 3.

    Meh. This constantly works. In steps 3-5, ur multiplying your first 3 digits by skill of 20000 and including 250. In step 8, ur subtracting 250, so u can cancel those out. by skill of including ur final 4 digits two times, ur making it so as that its two times your telephone extensive form. in simple terms divide by skill of two and yeah, thats all I would desire to declare.
