10. Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside. If the number of oranges in a small box are taken to be x, what is the number of oranges in the larger box?
need verified answer with full explanation

Answer 1

Answer

Oranges in small box = x

Oranges in other small box = Number of oranges in first box = x

Number of oranges in both boxes = x + x = 2x

Now add the extra 10 oranges = 2x + 10

Answer = 2x + 10

Hope it helps✌️✌️

Answer 2

Answer: 2x + 10

It is given that, the number of oranges in a large box is equal to the number of oranges in two small boxes while 10 oranges being left outside.

Also, number of oranges in a small box is assumed to be x, then

=> Number of oranges in Large box = (Number of oranges in a small box) × 2 + (10 oranges that remained outside

And we don't include the 10 oranges in smaller boxes.

( Given in the question )

=> No. of oranges = 2 × x + 10

=> No. of Oranges = 2x + 10

Therefore, Number of oranges in a large box is '2x + 10'.
