Answer:
red = 28 apples
green = 13 apples
equations:
r + g = 41
r = g + 15
Explanation:
r = number of red
g = number of green
r = g + 15 (the number of red apples is 15 more than the number of green apples)
r + g = 41
Substitute the firs equation into the second and solve for a numerical value of g
(g + 15) + g = 41
2g + 15 = 41
2g = 26
g = 13
Now solve for a numerical value of r
r = g + 15
r = 13 + 15
r = 28
checking the math:
r + g = 41
28 + 13 = 41
