Take 9 apples from the first basket and put them into the second basket. The number of apples in the two baskets is equal. Take 12 apples from the second basket and put them into the first basket. The number of apples in the first basket is equal to 2 times of that in the second basket How many? I haven't learned equations. Please use mathematical expressions

There are 72 apples in the first basket and 54 apples in the second basket
Suppose there are x apples in the first basket and Y apples in the second basket
X-9 = y + 9 gives x = 54
x+12=2(y-12) y=72



Two baskets of apples weigh 51 kg in total. One third of the first basket and two fifth of the second basket weigh 18.2 kg in total. How many kg do the two baskets weigh


Second frame weight = (18.2 × 3-51) / (2 / 5 × 3-1) = 18 (kg)
First frame weight = 51-18 = 33 (kg)



Two baskets of apples weigh 51 kg in total. One third of the first basket and two fifth of the second basket weigh 18.2 kg in total. The two baskets each weigh several thousand grams?


If the first basket is x kg, the second basket is 51-x kg
x/3+2(51-x)/5=18.2
x=33
So the first basket is 33 kg and the second basket is 18 kg
