Answer:

4a + 4b = 10

6a + 6b = 12

Explanation:

Putting the equation in a system of linear equation :

We donate, apples and oranges using any preffered letter or alphabet

Let :

Apples = a ; oranges = b

4 apples and 4 oranges equals $10

4a + 4b = 10

6 Apples and 6 oranges equals $12

6a + 6b = 12

Hence, the system of linear equation :

4a + 4b = 10

6a + 6b = 12
