Miranda bought some apples and oranges at the store for fruit salad. Owen bought three times as many apples and twice as many oranges. Miranda has 5 fruits in her bag, but Owen has 12 fruits in his bag. How many apples did Miranda purchase?
Derive two simultaneous equations a + o = 5 and 3a + 2o = 12 make a = 5 - o substitute in 2nd equation and you find o = 3, Miranda buys 2 apples.

Vesna [10]
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....there are 2 ways to do this...one with fractions, one without.

with :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x
4/3 = 2x - 4/5x
4/3 = 10/5x - 4/5x
4/3 = 6/5x
4/3 * 5/6 = x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x

without :
4/5x + 4/3 = 2x....multiply by common denominator of 15
12x + 20 = 30x
20 = 30x - 12x
20 = 18x
20/18 = x
10/9 = x
