Answer 1

Answer:

she bought 13 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples be x

number of orangers= x+12

therefore

x + x+12=78

2x+12=78

2x=78-12

2x=66

x=13

Answer 2

Answer:

let the no of apple be x then orange will be x+12

according to question

x+x+12=78

2x=78-12

2x=66

x=33

hence no of apples is 33
