Answer:

The total number of fruit brian bought in terms of x is 2x + 3

Explanation:

Given

Let x = number of apple

Let y = number of orange

If brian bought three more oranges and apples, then y = 3 + x

Total number of apple = x + y

Substitute 3 + x for y in the above expression

Total number of apple = x + 3 + x --- Collect like terms

Total number of apple = x + x + 3

Total number of apple = 2x+ 3

Hence the total number of fruit brian bought in terms of x is 2x + 3

Apples = x
Oranges = 3 + x

x + x = 2x

3 + 2x is your answer for total amount of fruits

Hope this helps
