Dear All,
Anyone can help to solve the above question?
Dear All,
Anyone can help to solve the above question?
Let A be the original number of Apples
Let P be the original number of Pears
(1) A = 4P
Now, (A – 165) – (P + 158) = 22
A – P – 323 = 22
(2) A – P = 345
Substituting (1) into (2):
4P – P = 345
3P = 345
So P = 115 #
I can only do simultaneous equations. I’d let someone else do the model answer.
Thank-you very much for helping to solve.
