Question 1153842
Initially, there were equal amount of bananas and kiwis on the table. Sarah put 6 bananas and 8 kiwis in each basket. After the baskets were ready there were 16 bananas and 8 kiwis left on the table. How many baskets were made?

Let x be the number of baskets.

Equation : 

Answer : 
  baskets were made.
<pre>
There is a certain number of baskets
The number of bananas is the same as the number of kiwis
With number of baskets being x, we get: 6x + 16 = 8x + 8
6x - 8x = 8 - 16
- 2x = - 8
x, or {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,7, Number, of, baskets, "=", (- 8)/(- 2), "=", 4))}}}
