Find the Value: Solution 

Let the value of kiwi be = x 

Let the value of orange be = y 

Let the value of broccoli be = z 

Step 1: From the first equation: 

X+X+X = 9

Now when we solve this equation then we get:

3X = 9

X = 9/3 = 3

So, the value of the kiwi (X) = 3

Step 2: From the second equation we have

X+Y+Y= 5

Taking the value of X from the first equation we get:

3 + 2Y = 5

2Y = 5-3 =2

Y = 2/2 = 1

So, the value of an orange is (Y)= 1

Step 3: When we move to the third equation we get: 

Z+Z+Y= 15

Taking the value of Y from the above equation we get: 

2Z+Y = 15

2Z = 15-1 

2Z = 14

Z = 14/2

So, the value of one broccoli (Z) = 7

Step 4: Final Equation

X+Y+Z= ?

Substituting the values found we get:

3+1+7=11

Final Answer = 11
