Solution
Number of
oranges in one small box = x
Number of
oranges in two small boxes = 2x
Number of
oranges left = 10
Number of
oranges in the large box = Number of oranges in two small boxes
+ Number of oranges left
= 2x + 10
Number of oranges in one small box = x
Number of oranges in two small boxes = 2x
Number of oranges left = 10
Number of oranges in the large box = Number of oranges in two small boxes
+ Number of oranges left
= 2x + 10
