If Victor were to put apples in bags so that there were 2 kg in each, then he would use 9 more bags than if he were to place 3 kg of apples in each bag. How many kg of apples were there?

Hi,

If Victor were to put apples in bags so that there were 2 kg in each, then he would use 9 more bags than if he were to place 3 kg of apples in each bag. How many kg of apples were there?

3*x=3x kg2(x+9)=(2x+18) kg

2x+18=3x

18=3x-2x
18=x

3x
=3*18
=54 kg
