3x=30
X=10
x + 2y=19
X=10
10- 19=-2y
y=9/2= 4.5
y+ 2z=1
4.5 -1= 2z
z=3.5/2= 1.75
[ x * (z-y)]=
[10*(1.75-4.5)]=[10*(-2.75)]=[-27.75]
absolute value of -27.5= 27.5

W+W+W=30 =3W
W=10
W+A+A=19 =10+2A
A=4.5
A-SS=1 =4.5-S^2
S=3.5^(1/2)~1.871
Abs(W*(S-A))=Abs(10*(1.871-4.5))=26.29

Oddly similar to Oracle's result, though we interpreted the double shield differently...
Also, a little brain teaser: Which shield is bigger, the one in front or the one in back?17 март 2017, 19:1817.03.17

No, I realized as soon as I hit enter that there was only one shield but I let someone else try first. I can't believe Oracle missed the last step. That is not like him.brunsonthomas said:-27.5Lol, did you change your answer because Oracle?

I am not good at algebra. Although calculus and trigonometry are my strong field.
S*S=S^2, and not 2S.
so the answer will be 26.29 ADMIRAL FERREN is right.

Unfortunately, no one has given the correct answer.
Correct answer: 30
Good luck in the future contests!
