Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside. If the number of oranges in a small box are taken to be x, what is the number of oranges in the larger box?

Dear Student

Number of oranges in a small box = x
Number of oranges in two small boxes = 2x
Number of oranges remained = 10
Number of oranges in large box = number of oranges in two small boxes + number of orangesremained
= 2x + 10

Thanks
