Answer:

option B

x+y=72

x-y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of apples

y ---> number of oranges

we know that

Each crate contains a total of 72 pieces of fruit

so

x+y=72 ----> equation A

A crate has 8 more apples than oranges

so

x=y+8

x-y=8 ----> equation B

therefore

Option B

Give an example to show that subtraction does not follow the associative rule
Agata [3.3K]

(6 - 2) - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3

6 - (2 - 1) = 6 - 1 = 5

The associative rule doesn't work for subtraction because you get different results when you move the parentheses.
