Question

Sheryl has a basket of ripe apples and peaches. The number of apples in the basket is 12 more than twice the number of peaches. If there are
36 apples in the basket, there are
peaches in the basket.

Answer 1

Answer:

Say peaches are x

If there are 2 times as many apples as peaches plus 12 we could make the equation as

2x+12=36

Answer 2

Let peaches be x

Number of apples = 12 + 2x

Therefore already 36 apples are in the basket.

BTP,

=> 12 + 2x = 36

=> 2x = 36 - 12

=> 2x = 24

=> x = 24/2

=> x = 12

Answer - There are 12 peaches the basket...
