Thank you in advance :beer:

D is Dragon
M is Man
F is Flower
Line 1:
D x D x D = 27
so D = 3 because 3 x 3 x 3 = 27
Line 2:
M + F + D + M + F = 31
2M + 2F + 3 = 31
2M + 2F = 28
M + F = 14
Line 3:
4F + 4F - (M+F) = 18
8F -14 = 18
8F = 18+14
8F = 32
F= 32/8
F = 4
So then you can work out that if M + F = 14 and F = 4 then M = 10
Line 4:
M + 2F + D x 5F = you use bodmas for this one so it becomes
M +2F + (D x (5 x F))
10 + 8 + (3 x 20)
10 + 8+ 60
= 78You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

I think it's 62...
Have you missed the extra flowers in the picture? There are 5 on the right not 4 (like on the row above) and the man has 2 flowers in his hand not 1 (like on the row above). The flowers in the man's hand are tiny, so really easy to miss
so if you accidentally do M + F + D x 4F
you get 10 + 4 + (3 x 16) = 62
but (as per ikkle87's post) it's actually M + 2F + D x 5F
which gives 10 + 8 + (3 x 20) = 78
since each flower = 40 -
how are we supposed to see the flowers in the man's hand, anyway entered a day late with the wrong answer0
