3x-\ pineapple\\
2x-\ mango\\\\
after\ selling\ 144\ pineapple:\\
3y-\ pineapple\\
5y-\ mango\\\\
3x-144=3y\ \ | add\ 144\\
2x=5y\\\\
3x=3y+144\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
2x=5y\\\\
x=y+48\\2x=5y\\\\
2(y+48)=5y\\
2y+96=5y\ \ \ | subtract\ 2y\\
96=3y\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\
32=y\\
x=32+48=80\\\\

1. 3p: Add 6 to negative 3, and carry over the "p"

3. 6x: Subtract 1 from 7 and carry over the "x"

5. -4v: Add 6 to negative 10 and carry over the "v"

7. -4r + 9: Add 5 to -9 and carry over the "r". Then put "+9" after the variable, since the other 9 was by itself.

9. 14n: Add 5 to 9 and carry over the "n".
