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 = 
16x² - 49
= (4x)² - 7²
Identity =》 a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b)
(4x)² - 7²
= (4x + 7) (4x - 7) [3rd option]
