Answer 1

Let a and o represent the numbers of apples and oranges sold the first week.
  a + o = 108
Then the number sold the second week is
  5a +3o = 452

Subtract 3 times the first equation from the second.
  (5a +3o) -3(a +o) = (452) -3(108)
  2a = 128 . . . . . . collect terms
  a = 64 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
  o = 108 - 64 = 44 . . . use the first equation to find o

64 apples and 44 oranges were sold the first week.
