Asked by Garhl

Marvin has a box containing apples and oranges.

*There are a total of 100 apples and oranges in the box.

*The number of apples in the box is 16 more than the number of oranges

How many apples are in the same box?

Answer:
Its a system of equation so
a+o=100
a=o+16

Distribute
o+16+o=100
2o+16=100 subtract 16

2o=84 divide each side by 2

o=42

How many apples? 100-42=58

**There are 58 apples in the box**
Is that correct?
