Respuesta :

10x + 6(300-x) = 2000
4x + 1800 = 2000
4x = 200
x = 50

hope this help

Answer:

50 was the specific number of cases of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of cases of apples and y be the number of cases of banana.

As per the statement:

At Shaw's Market apples cost $10 per case and bananas cost $6 per case

⇒Cost of x cases of apples = 10 x and Cost of y cases of apples = 6 y

If an order comes in for a total of 300 cases

⇒[tex]x+y = 300[/tex]                 ....[1]

It is also given that total cost for the cases of apple and banana is, $2000

⇒[tex]10x +6y = 2000[/tex]                 ....[2]

Multiply equation [1] by 6 both sides we get;

[tex]6x+6y = 1800[/tex]             .....[3]

Subtract [3] from [2] to get eliminate y:

[tex]10x+6y-6x-6y = 2000-1800[/tex]

Combine like terms;

[tex]4x = 200[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

x = 50

Therefore, the number of cases of apples are: 50
