Answer:
30
(55-x)3 = 45 + x
165 - 3x = 45 + x
4x = 120
x = 30

Given,
45 oranges in box A
55 oranges in box B
To find,
How many oranges must be transferred from box B to box A so that the number of oranges in box A is three times the number of oranges in box B
Solution,
Let the number of oranges to be transferred be z
The equation that will be formed according to the question is
45 + z = (55 - z) 3
45 + z = 165 - 3z
z + 3z = 165 - 45
4z = 120
z = 120/4
z = 30
Thus the number of oranges to be transferred is 30
