$\begingroup$ Is it true that the answer is really 21? $\endgroup$– Parcly TaxelJan 6, 2022 at 12:24

$\begingroup$ Is there a better quality image? The third woman on the first equation looks different to the others (strange looking shape on her dress) and I can't tell whether it is intentional or not. $\endgroup$– user78105Jan 6, 2022 at 12:25

$\begingroup$ The answer being 21 can be entirely explained by looking more closely at the dress of the girl in the bottom picture. Those aren't circular buttons... $\endgroup$– StivJan 6, 2022 at 12:48

The answer is:
21
We can work out the values of each icon (GIRL, BOY, HEART) by solving the first 3 equations:
Equation 1 yields GIRL = 5.
Using this, Equation 2 yields BOY = 3.
Using this also, Equation 3 yields HEART = 2.
The trick to solving the final equation is the same as for all internet puzzles of this type - you have to notice the additional icons hidden in the image. In this case:
The girl's buttons have been replaced with heart icons. Thus the final answer is:
(BOY + HEART) + (BOY + HEART + GIRL + 3*HEART)
i.e. (3 + 2) + (3 + 2 + 5 + 3*2), which equals 21 as required.
If handholding represents concatenation and the raised heart represents exponentiation then the final expression would be 32 + 35^2 = 1257, but this might be wrong.

1$\begingroup$ I like your solution (!) but clearly this kind of problem has multiple interpretations and the "correct" interpretation depends on an understanding of the accepted, normal conventions for the puzzle type which, in this case, are explained by @Stiv. $\endgroup$ Jan 7, 2022 at 7:20
357 or 36 or 51
Eq. 1: girl = 5
Eq. 2: boy = 3
Eq. 3: heart = 2
If you combine digits into numbers: $32 + 325 = 357$
If you take this as multiplication: $3 * 2 + 3 * 2 * 5 = 36$
If you treat the heart between characters as a power and the rest as multiplication: $3 * 2 + 3 ^ 2 * 5 = 51$
