Question

Marta’s fruit stand sold many oranges on Thursday and twice as many on Friday. All together, on both days, she sold 108. Which equation represents the problem?

Answer 1

Equations weren't provided in the question but my answer is 3T=108

Explanation:

t is oranges sold on Thursday.

f is oranges sold on Friday

If she sold the amount she sold on Friday is equal to 2x the amount on Thursday: 2t=f. But the total of 108 is both days added together. So she sold 2t on friday and 1t or ton thursday than you add it up like so: 2t+t=108 becasue 108 is the total. But 2t+t=3t so you get the final equation as 3t=108
