Question

Please help only answer if you know please

Answer 1

Avocados = x
Oranges = y

x+y=28
x+2y=44

x=28-y
(28-y)+2y=44
2y-y=44-28
y=16

x=28-16
x=12

Answer 2

a)Let the number of avocados that I brought be a and number of oranges be r.

b) a+r=28 ---(1)

a+2r=44 ---(2)

c) a+r=28

a=28-r ---(3)

sub (3) into (2), 28-r+2r=44

r=16

sub r=16 into (3), a=28-16

a=12

∴ I brought 12 avocados and 16 oranges.
