Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: There are 152 apples.

The explanation is shown below:

- You need to write the following three equations, where
`a` is the the number of apples,
`p` is the number of pears and
`o` is the number of oranges:

1)
`a+p=184`

2)
`a+o=248`

3)
`o=3p`

- You must substitute the equation 3) into the equation 2):

`a+3p=248`

- Now, you need to solve for
`p` in the equation 1) and then you must substitute it into
`a+3p=248`:

`p=184-a`

`a+3(184-a)=248`

- Solve for
`a`, as following:

`a+552-3a=248\\-2a=-304\\a=(-304)/(-2)\\a=152`

- Therefore, there are 152 apples.
