Answer:

16 in first and 8 in second

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of apples be x in the first box then the number in the second box will be 24-x

if we half the number of apples in first box we get  \frac{x}{2}

And we add 4 apples in the second box we get 24-x+4=28-x

Since the apples in the two boxes were 20  we get

\frac{x}{2}+28-x=20

x+56-2x=40

After simplification we get:

x=16

Hence, number of apples in first box were x that is 16

And number of apples in second box were 24-x that is 24-16 is 8
