Sorry, Bot -- the original poster mangled the English, so the question was difficult to interpret. As I see it,

If there were n delicious apples, then there were n+162 empire apples.
So to find n, solve
n + n+162 = 424
2n+162 = 424

n - 162 = 424 (This is the correct equation to solve for the number of delicious apples sold)

You are correct! Thank you for clarifying, the correct equation to solve for the number of delicious apples sold is:

2n + 162 = 424

Simplifying this equation:

2n = 262

n = 131

Therefore, 131 delicious apples were sold.
