Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
(after the first "1") You need to add the previous two numbers together to get the next number in the pattern.
Top left:
7x-44 = 4x+4
7x-4x = 4+44
3x = 48
x = 16
8y-43 = 39+(7(16)-44)
8y = 39+68+43
8y = 150
y = 18.75
18+13=31, so Carmine must have 18 apples, and 5 less then her is the number of apples Rachel has. So, Rachel has 13 apples +/-.
