1. **Stating the problem:** We have three shapes each divided into three parts with numbers: - Top-left triangle with parts 44, 7, and 23. - Top-right rounded square with parts 32, 2, and 8. - Bottom-center pentagon-like shape with parts 83, 6, and an unknown value ?. 2. **Understanding the pattern:** We need to find the missing number ? in the bottom-center shape based on the pattern from the other two shapes. 3. **Analyzing the first shape (triangle):** The numbers are 44, 7, and 23. - Sum: $$44 + 7 + 23 = 74$$ 4. **Analyzing the second shape (rounded square):** The numbers are 32, 2, and 8. - Sum: $$32 + 2 + 8 = 42$$ 5. **Analyzing the third shape (pentagon-like):** The numbers are 83, 6, and ?. - Let the missing number be $x$. - Sum: $$83 + 6 + x = S$$ 6. **Looking for a relationship:** The sums of the first two shapes are 74 and 42. - The difference between 74 and 42 is $$74 - 42 = 32$$ 7. **Hypothesis:** The sums might be decreasing by 32 each time. - If so, the sum for the third shape should be $$42 - 32 = 10$$ 8. **Solving for $x$:** $$83 + 6 + x = 10$$ $$89 + x = 10$$ $$x = 10 - 89$$ $$x = -79$$ 9. **Checking the result:** The missing number is $$-79$$. 10. **Interpretation:** The missing number is negative, which might be unusual but mathematically consistent with the pattern. **Final answer:** $$\boxed{-79}$$
