Question 804202
Let {{{ x }}} = number of apples seller started with
Let {{{ x }}} = number of pears seller started with
---------------
After selling, seller has left:
{{{ x - 82 }}} apples
{{{ x - 34 }}} pears
and
{{{ x - 34 = 4*( x - 82 ) }}}
{{{ x - 34 = 4x - 328 }}}
{{{ 3x = 328 - 34 }}}
{{{ 3x = 294 }}}
{{{ x = 98 }}}
Seller had 98 apples and 98 pears to start with
check:
{{{ x - 34 = 4*( x - 82 ) }}}
{{{ 98 - 34 = 4*( 98 - 82 ) }}}
{{{ 64 = 4*16 }}}
{{{ 64 = 64 }}}
OK
