Answer:
Apples = 24
Pears = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let u be the unit of fruit in the basket,
number of apples: 
number of pears: 
now to find u, we equate the two equations.

Now simplify.



Now we can find the original number of apples and pears by substituting u.
so original number of apples = 
and original number of pears = 
X = [-(-8) +/- sqrt((-8)^2 -4*41)] / 2
x = ( 8 + sqrt (-100) / 2 and (8 - sqrt(-100) / 2

It will take 2.2 hours for the trains to meet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Distance between two trains = 396 miles
Speed of one train = 95 mph
Speed of other train = 85 mph
Combined speed of trains = 95+85 = 180 mph
Distance = Speed * Time
Time = 
Time = 
Time = 2.2 hours
It will take 2.2 hours for the trains to meet.
