2. Half of the pieces of fruit in the bowl are apples. There are also 3 oranges, 2 pears, and a banana.
How many apples are there in the bowl? Show your work!

6 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

3+2+1 = 6 and 6 × 2 is 12 therefore half of the fruit is 6 so six apples (if that makes sense HAHA)

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
