Answer:
c + 3d = 14.75
2c + 5d = 26
A box of candy is $4.25 and a drink is $3.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the cost of a box of candy and let d represent the cost of a drink
c + 3d = 14.75
2c + 5d = 26
Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2
-2c - 6d = -29.5
2c + 5d = 26
Add them together
-d = -3.5
d = 3.5
Plug in 3.5 as d into one of the equations to solve for c
c + 3d = 14.75
c + 3(3.5) = 14.75
c + 10.5 = 14.75
c = 4.25
So, a box of candy is $4.25 and a drink is $3.50
1/4x - 2 = 3/8
First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).
Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.
Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.

Answer:
x=13°
Step-by-step explanation:
If BE is an angle bisector, then it divides the angle into two equal angles. This means that
∠ABE=∠EBC
Since ∠ABE=2x+20 and ∠EBC=4x-6, we have
2x+20=4x-6
2x-4x=-6-20
-2x=-26
2x=26
x=13°
