Question

How to solve this problem

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 112 peaches, and 56 nectarines!

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Write the question in an equation:

P+N=168

2)We know that there are twice as many peaches as Nectarines, so rewrite the variable "P" as "2N":

2N+N=168

3) Combine alike terms:

3N=168

4) Divide both sides by 3:

N=56

5) Substitute 56 as N in our equation for P (2n):

2(56)

6) Solve:

P=112
