What further workings do you need? You can see that the duck at the bottom on the left and the duck at the top on the right are 12", being 36-24, therefore one duck is (36-24)/2

Hopefully a professional teacher will come along and explain what's required.
Doing it is not so important as explaining what you did and why it is correct and repeatable.

Yep just did the same: (36-24)/2 = 6

Has nobody else noticed that 6” is pretty small for a duck?

The first person to get the answer remarked on that. 2nd post on previous page.

It’s all been done up thread.

Im not a teacher, but here is an explanation without any mathematical symbols.

Barrel plus duck equals 36
Barrel minus duck equals 24
So add this together. 2 barrels plus a duck and minus a duck equals 60. (The ducks cancel each other out)
Which means 1 barrel equals 30.
We know from the first line that 1 barrel plus a duck is 36.
So take away 30 and a duck equals 6.

Everyone has assumed it is the same duck?

So my first method isn't recommended. I just looked at it and intuitively knew/guessed it was 6. Then tested my answer and it worked.

Although I did follow it up by doing the simultaneous equations in my head.

I won't insult you by pointing out it may not be the same barrel.

It's just far away.

Anyway .....

I'm getting strongly hooked on Nathan Pyle's aliens. Here's a sample:

Is that an African or European duck?

How fast is it going?
