a)2n+162=424
b)2n-162=424
c)n+162=424
d)n-162=424

Answer 1

Okay so what you have here are 3 numbers. The first one is the number of empire apples sold. Which is 162. The second is 424. The third is unknown, but it's the number of delicious apples sold.

Since the farm sold a total of 424 and 162 empire apples are included already, how do you think you'll find out how many delicious apples are sold?
