Question

John buys twice as many apples as Sarah buys oranges. Together they buy 12 pieces of fruit. If x is the number of oranges and y is the number of apples, write a system of equations to represent the number of apples and oranges purchased. Then solve the system to determine the number of apples and oranges purchased.
Question 7 options:

1) x + y = 12
y = x + 2
5 apples; 7 oranges

2) x + y = 12
y = x + 2
7 apples; 5 oranges

3) x + y = 12
x = 2y
4 apples; 8 oranges

4) x + y = 12
y = 2x
