​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom gets 11grapes & Harry gets 16 grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

let Tom get x grapes

Harry gets x+5 grapes

=>x+(x+5)=27

=>2x+5=27

=>2x=22

x=11

Answer 2

Answer:

Let, Tom have x numbers of grapes.

Harry have (x + 5) numbers of grapes.

lotal numbers of graphs = 27.

therefor,

=> x + (x + 5) = 27

=> 2x + 5 = 27

=> x = (27 - 5)/2

=> x = 11

hence, Tom have x = 11 grapes

and Harry have (x+5) = 16 grapes.
