Answer: He sold 10 pounds of cashews .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Selling price of walnuts = $4.00 a pound

Selling price of cashews = $7.00 a pound

Number of pounds of walnuts = 10

Let number of pounds of cashew be x

Total price at which he sold a mixture = $5.50

According to question,

10\times 4+x\times 7=(10+x)\times 5.50\\\\40+7x=55+5.5x\\\\7x-5.5x=55-40\\\\1.5x=15\\\\x=\frac{15}{1.5}\\\\x=10

Hence, he sold 10 pounds of cashews .

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°
