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?
