pears. How many numbers of apples and pears in the box?

Respuesta :

Answer:

44 pears and 52 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

pears are 8 more than apple so 52-8 = 44

Number of apples and pears in a box is equals to [tex]30[/tex] and [tex]22[/tex] respectively.

What is number?

" Number is defined as the count of any given quantity as per given condition."

According to the question,

Given,

Total number of apples [tex]= 52[/tex]

[tex]'x'[/tex] represents the number of pears

[tex]'x+ 8'[/tex] represents the number of apples

As per the given condition required equation we get,

[tex]x + x + 8 = 52\\\\\implies 2x = 52-8\\\\\implies x = \frac{44}{2} \\\\\implies x = 22[/tex]

number of pears [tex]= 22[/tex]

number of apples [tex]= 22+8[/tex]

                              [tex]=30[/tex]

Hence, number of apples and pears in a box is equals to [tex]30[/tex] and [tex]22[/tex] respectively.
