Simone Wu · Answer 1

X + 2x=450

3x=450

x=450/3

x=150

there are 150 oranges and 300 mangoes

Aylin Davenport · Answer 2

Equation is 2x (mangoes) + x (oranges) = 450.

2x + x = 450

3x = 450

x = 150

so now we have the amount of oranges = 150

150 * 2 = 300

so oranges = 150, mangoes = 300, and to check our work

150 + 300 = 450
