Answer:
2x+10
Step-by-step explanation:
Oranges are moved from large boxes to small boxes.
The condition given in the question is that when one large box is emptied, the oranges from the large box fill two small boxes and after that 10 oranges remain left outside.
Hence, if the number of oranges in the small boxes is x, then the number of oranges in the large box was (2x+10). (Answer)
