This is a visual math puzzle where we need to find the value of each icon and then solve for the final question mark. I will solve this step by step.

Step 1: Assign variables to each icon


Let's assign letters to each icon to make it easier:
- Let F = Fish
- Let J = Jelly Beans (the two beans together)
- Let K = Candy Kebab
- Let W = Watermelon slice

Step 2: Translate the equations


From the image, we have four equations:

1. F + J + F = K → 2F + J = K
2. 26 - K = W
3. W + W = 2 → 2W = 2
4. F + F = W + 9 → 2F = W + 9

And we need to find: K - J = ?

Step 3: Solve the equations


I'll start with the simplest equation, which is equation 3.

From equation 3: 2W = 2
→ W = 1

Now plug W = 1 into equation 2:
26 - K = W
→ 26 - K = 1
→ K = 25

Now plug W = 1 into equation 4:
2F = W + 9
→ 2F = 1 + 9
→ 2F = 10
→ F = 5

Now plug F = 5 into equation 1:
2F + J = K
→ 2(5) + J = 25
→ 10 + J = 25
→ J = 15

Step 4: Find the final answer


We need to find K - J.
K = 25
J = 15
So, K - J = 25 - 15 = 10

The answer is 10.
