1. **State the problem:** We have three equations based on images: - Red apple + banana bunch + banana bunch = 18 - Banana bunch - coconut half = 2 - Coconut half + red apple + banana bunch = ?? 2. **Define variables:** Let $A$ = red apple, $B$ = banana bunch, $C$ = coconut half. 3. **Write equations:** $$A + 2B = 18$$ $$B - C = 2$$ $$C + A + B = ?$$ 4. **Solve for $C$ from second equation:** $$C = B - 2$$ 5. **Express $A$ from first equation:** $$A = 18 - 2B$$ 6. **Substitute $A$ and $C$ into third equation:** $$C + A + B = (B - 2) + (18 - 2B) + B$$ 7. **Simplify:** $$= B - 2 + 18 - 2B + B = (B - 2B + B) + (18 - 2) = 0 + 16 = 16$$ **Final answer:** $$\boxed{16}$$
