Let’s solve this step by step.
We have symbols that stand for numbers:
- Red fish = ?
- Two beans (green and purple) = ?
- Skewer with colorful balls = ?
- Watermelon slice = ?
We are given these equations:
1.
Fish + Beans + Fish = Skewer
→ So: 2 × Fish + Beans = Skewer
2.
26 - Skewer = Watermelon
3.
Watermelon + Watermelon = 2
→ So: 2 × Watermelon = 2 → Watermelon = 1
4.
Fish + Fish = Watermelon + 9
→ So: 2 × Fish = 1 + 9 = 10 → Fish = 5
Now let’s plug in what we know.
From equation 4:
Fish = 5
From equation 3:
Watermelon = 1
From equation 2:
26 - Skewer = 1 → Skewer = 26 - 1 = 25
From equation 1:
2 × Fish + Beans = Skewer
→ 2 × 5 + Beans = 25
→ 10 + Beans = 25
→ Beans = 15
Now, the last question is:
Skewer - Beans = ?
→ 25 - 15 = 10
✔ Let’s double-check everything:
- Fish = 5 → two fish = 10
- Beans = 15
- Skewer = 25
- Watermelon = 1
Check equation 1: 5 + 15 + 5 = 25 ✔️
Check equation 2: 26 - 25 = 1 ✔️
Check equation 3: 1 + 1 = 2 ✔️
Check equation 4: 5 + 5 = 1 + 9 → 10 = 10 ✔️
Final: 25 - 15 = 10 ✔️
All checks out!
Final Answer:
10
