Question

A box contains 38 fruit. A mix of apple and oranges if there are 12 more apples than oranges how many apples are there in the box

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

apple's=x

oranges=y

x+y= 38 (equation 1)

x=y+12( apples are 12 more than oranges)

substitute x in equation 1

y+y+12=38

2y+12=38

2y=26

y= 13

substitute y value in eq 1

x+13= 38

x= 38-13

x=25
