    From each construction paper number of apples can be cut = 5.

    From a sheet of paper number of leaves can be cut = 7.

    Let us assume number of construction paper required = x.

    Therefore, x construction paper would cut out = 5x apples.

    But we need to cut total 1045 apples.

    Therefore, we can setup first equation as:

    5x = 1045.

    Dividing both sides by 5, we get

    5x/5 = 1045/5

    x=209.

    Let us assume number of sheet of paper required = y.

    Therefore, y number of sheet of paper would cut out = 7y.

    But we need to cut total 1463 leaves.

    Therefore, we can setup second equation as:

    7y = 1463.

    Dividing both sides by 7, we get

    7y/7 = 1463/7

    y = 209.

    Therefore,

    We got two equations 5x = 1045 and 7y = 1463. From those equations we can get 209 construction paper and 209 sheets of paper required to cut out 1045 apples and 1463 leaves.

    Equation is 5x + 7y = 2508

    418 sheets of paper required

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Now according to the given data, we know that we have to cut 1045 apples and 1463 leaves. We also know that 5 apples can be cut from single paper and 7 leaves can be cut from single paper.

    Assume paper required for apples is x and paper required for leaves is y

    Now, for apples,

    1045/5 = x or 5x = 1045, so x = 209

    For leaves

    1463/7 = y or 7y = 1463 = 209

    Total number of sheets required

    x + y

    209 + 209 = 418

    So, if we need to know total number of papers, we need to combine both equations

    5x + 7y = 1045 + 1463

    5x + 7y = 2508
