Answer:
The total number of fruit brian bought in terms of x is 2x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let x = number of apple
Let y = number of orange
If brian bought three more oranges and apples, then y = 3 + x
Total number of apple = x + y
Substitute 3 + x for y in the above expression
Total number of apple = x + 3 + x --- Collect like terms
Total number of apple = x + x + 3
Total number of apple = 2x+ 3
Hence the total number of fruit brian bought in terms of x is 2x + 3
