  3. Question 3coordinate geometry

    The 5 balls shown begin to move simultaneously in the directions indicated by their arrows. When two balls going in opposite directions collide, the bigger ball swallows the smaller one and increases its value by the value of the smaller ball. The bigger ball continues to move in its original direction, as shown in the following example. What is the final result of the collisions of the 5 balls shown?

    Five balls with values 10, 9, 3, 7, 20 and arrows showing their directions. Below is an example where a ball of 11 moving right and a ball of 4 moving left collide to result in a ball of 15 moving right.
