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

What is the correct answer?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Welcome to the era of LeBron. If you thought he was doing the game a disservice by being a sore loser and egomaniac, you haven’t seen anything yet. It wasn’t enough that he decided to become a pariah, he and his group of cronies have decided they want to ruin the NBA.

How? By systematically turning every superstar in the NBA into LeBron James. They are trying to turn them into spoiled, delusional, lying, quitting cowards.

Two of the biggest stories this offseason have been the drama in Denver and New Orleans. Both players, for whatever reasons, have decided that they no longer want to be the cornerstone of a franchise. Before the summer of Lebron, neither had really been asking to get out of their situations. So what is the common thread here? Well, both are represented by agent Leon Rose. Who else is represented by Rose? Why Mr. James, of course.
