Answer:
The value of number of apples = 7
The value of number of oranges = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of apples = x
And number of oranges = y
Total number of apples & oranges combined ( x + y ) = 10
⇒ x + y = 10 ---------- ( 1 )
Number of apples = 4 + Number of oranges
⇒ x = 4 + y ----------- ( 2 )
Put the value of x in equation ( 1 ) we get,
⇒ 4 + 2 y = 10
⇒ 2 y = 6
⇒ y = 3
This is the value of number of oranges.
number of apples x = 10 - y
⇒ x = 10 - 3
⇒ x = 7
This is the value of number of apples.
