What about if you use the distributive property? You could do 1(x+13) because the 1 would distribute to the x and the 13 making it x+13. Hope that is helpful.

Answer:
x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5
y = one time delivery fee = $135
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = cost of each gift basket
y = one time delivery fee
40x + y = 715 (1)
400x + y = 5935 (2)
Subtract (1) from (2)
400x - 40x = 5935 - 715
360x = 5220
x = 5220/360
x = 14.5
Substitute x = 14.5 into (1)
40x + y = 715 (1)
40(14.5) + y = 715
580 + y = 715
y = 715 - 580
y = 135
x = cost of each gift basket = $14.5
y = one time delivery fee = $135
