apple: x orange : y mango : z
all of fruit = x + y + z
y + z = 4 x + z = 5 x + y = 7
2x + 2y + 2z = 16
It suppose to be mangoes = 1 , apples = 4, oranges =3 , by simultaneous equation.
hi guys the question is how many fruits in the basker so from the question lets say org+man = 4; app+org = 5; app+man = 7 so all added up together app+org+org+man+app+man = 4+5+7; 2*(app+org+man) = 16 , so there are 8 fruits in the basket

good one
Suppose: Total No. of Fruits = X No of Apples: A + 4 = X A = X - 4 No of Mangoes: M + 5 = X M = X - 5 No of Oranges: O + 7 = X O = X - 7 A + M + O = X (X - 4) + (X - 5) + (X - 7) = X 3X - 16 = X 3X - X = 16 2X = 16 X = 8

نفس اجابتي بس لو سمحت ترجمها عشان الباقي يستفيد
Apple= a; Orange= o; Mango= m. i) m+o=4 ii) a+m=5 iii) o+a= 7 Adding i), ii) and iii), we get 2a+2m+2o= 16 Dividing through out by 2, we get, a+m+o= 8
good place for testing ur brain
total fruits=8
yeah....that's the point
orange+mango=4 apple+mango=5 orange+apple=7 by solving these 3 equations we will get, apple=4 ; mango=1 ; orange=3. so total no. of fruits=8
exactly , @Ryan Rvl
cool
I got 8 too.. but m=4? Isn't it kind of off? m=4 and a+o=7?
I beleive the answer should be Apple=4, Orange=3 & Mango=1: If x= total fruit (A+Or+M), then X-4= A X-5=Or X-7=M Hence 3x-16=(A+Or+M) or X Then 3x-16=x & x=8, then Replace x vy its value in the first partt
a= apples, b=mangoes, c=oranges.. z=total fruits
(1) z-4=a
(2) z-5=b
(3) z-7=c
Adding the 3 equations,
3z-16= a+b+c
3z-16= z
z=8
cooooooooooool
How you equated 3z-16=z to z=8? Make it more clarified.......
apples+4=TOTAL_FRUITS ----1
oranges+5=TOTAL_FRUITS -----2
mangoes+7=TOTAL_FRUITS ----3
TOTAL_FRUITS=apples+oranges+mangoes=x
NOW adding up equations
apples+oranges+mangoes+16=TOTAL FRUITS+TOTAL FRUITS+TOTAL_FRUITS
x+16=3x
sending x to RHS
16=2x
x=16/2
ie...
x=8
Gud
Anybody else kind of winged it without really using equation? I added up everything first but realized I made a mistake. Then I had a thought. What if mango was one. That leaves seven remaining. Then I thought, with one mango, you subtract one from the all but remaining (so 4 and 5) giving you 3 and 4. So that gives you eight total. Didn't really pen and paper it, just thought out loud to myself.
Well, that's Combinatorics for you... (the art of counting without actually counting)
oranges+mangoes=4
mangoes+apples=5
apples+oranges=7
=> 2(O+M+A)=16 which means total number of fruits will be 8
Wonderful!
let n=total no. of fruits now n-4=apples,,,,,,n-5=oranges,,,,,,,,,,,n-7=mangoes
as it contains only these fruits their algebric sum must be equal to total fruits that are =n
so
n-4+n-5+n-7=n
3n-16=n
3n-n=16
2n=16
n=8
Every fruit is counted twice..so add and divide by 2
[o+m]+[a+m]+[a+o]=4+5+7
2[a+o+m]=16
a+o+m=8
a-(o+m) =>a-4 =>a=4,
o-(a+m) =>o-5 =>o=3,
m-(a+o) =>m-7 =>m=1,
Total 8 fruits
a+o=7 a+m=5 o+m=4
a+m-(o+m)=1
a-o=1
a-o+a+o=8
2a=8
a=4
sub a in to equations and solve the rest.
a=4,m=1,o=3
let's denote : A = a p p l e , O = o r a n g e , M = m a n g o .
let: A + O + M = X given from the question, A = X − 4 , O = X − 5 , M = X − 7
by adding those 3 equations we get: 3 X − 1 6 = X ⇒ X = 8
(4+5+7)/2=8 fruits in the basket
Let apples be A, mangoes be M, oranges be O. So we have to find A+M+O. Now from given condition, A+M+O - (A)=4. So, M+O=4.........(1) . Similarly, A+M=5..........(2) A+O=7............(3) Therefore, adding (1),(2),(3), M+O+A+M+A+O=4+5+7 2(M+O+A)=16 So, (M+O+A)=8 So, there are 8 fruits in the basket
.a = n of fruits
ap = n of apples
o = n of oranges
m = n of mangos
a - ap = 4
a - o = 5
a - m = 7
3a - (ap + o + m) = (4 + 5 + 7)
3a - a = 16
2a = 16
a = 16/2 = 8
and ap = a - 4 =8 - 4 = 4
and o = a - 5 = 8 - 5 = 3
and m = a - 7 = 8 - 7 = 1
Let the total no. of fruits = F, that of apples, oranges, mangoes be a, o, m respectively. Therefore a + o + m = F
According to the conditions given: Condition 1: no. of all fruits other than apples = F - a = 4 Condition 2: no. of all fruits other than oranges = F - o = 5 Condition 3: no. of all fruits other than mangoes = F - m = 7
Adding all of the above, we get: -> 3F - (a + o + m) = 4 + 5 + 7 -> 2F = 16 -> F = 8
Hence, total no. of fruits = 8
o + m = 4
a + m = 5
a + o = 7
∴ a + m + o = 8
orange:a mango:b apple:c we have 3 equations and 3 unknown subjects
a + b =4
b + c =5
a + c =7
solve it we have a=3, b=1, c=4. so the answer is 8
Well, let's suppose we have x fruits. Apples are x-4. Oranges are x-5. Mangos are x-7. So, (x-4)+(x-5)+(x-7) = x 3x - 16 = x 2x = 16 x=8
let the total number of fruits in the basket be x, then there are x-4 apples,x-5 oranges, x-7mangoes, now since the only fruits in the basket are apples , mangoes and oranges, so (x-4) + (x-5) + (x-7) = x therefore x = 8
x=all fruits x-4=apples; x-5=oranges; x-7=mangoes All except 4 are apples meaning 4 is composed of oranges and mangoes. 4=x-5+x-7 which equals to 4=2x-12 All except 5 are oranges meaning 5 is composed of apples and mangoes. 5=x-4+x-7 which equals to 5=2x-11
subtraction of equalities: 4=2x-12 --- 20=10x-60; 5=2x-12 --- 20= 8x- 44 balance: 0 =-2x+16 transposition:2x= 16 answer: x=8
apples=x-4,oranges=x-5,mangoes=x-7, sum of all these terms must be x, said the sherlock holmes
Let, there are x fruits in the basket. So, Apple is = x- 4; Orange is = x-5; Mango is = x-7; So, x-4+x-5+x-7 = x or, x=8 So, there are total 8 fruits in the basket Ans. 8
[mango]+[apple] = 5 [apple]+[orange]= 7 [orange]+[mango]= 4
Distribution isn't an opinion, so [mango] has the smallest value (they are in both low-cardinal-number combinations). [apple]+[orange] can be made neither of 5 and 2, nor of of 6 and 1. Therefore it's made up of 3 and 4. Use [mango] as discriminant and you get it.
(eq1) 7 = o+a (eq2) 5 = m+a, (eq3) 4 = m+o ------> presto!
4= Laranja+ Manga 5=Manga+Maça 7=Maça+Laranja 16=2 Laranjas +2 Maças +2 Mangas/2= 8

1) a+o=7 2)a+m=5 3)o+m=4 solving these equations two at a time ,we get a=4, o=3 and m=1<total fruits=8
All the fruit are Apples, except four. That means those four contain oranges + mangoes. We know that there are more oranges than mangoes, so it has to be three oranges, 1 mango. All the fruit are oranges EXCEPT 5 OF THEM. One of those five is a mango, which means there are 4 apples. We can check if it's correct because of 'all of them are mangoes except 7 of them'. 3 oranges + 4 apples = 7 fruit that are not mangoes. 3 oranges + 4 apples +1 mango = 8 fruits in total.
Let total fruits be x. Then Apples = x-4, oranges = x-5, mangoes =x-7, The sum of these should be equal total no of fruits.. So (x-4)+(x-5)+(x-7)=x; 3x-16=x; So x=8 ans....
Let "x","y","z" be no. of apples, oranges, mangoes respectively. According given conditions we gwt 3 equations,......... y+z=4;........x+z=5;......x+y=7;.....On solving we get x=4,........y=3,..........z=1.........hence total fruit is x+y+z=8.
A=apple O=orange M=mango
and F=all fruit
so F=A+O+M and A=F-4 O=F-5 M=F-7
F=F-4+F-5+F-7
3F-F=16 2F=16
and the answer is F=8
a = apples, m = mangoes, o = oranges So,we have to find a + m + o = ???? as per the info : If all apples except 4, this means o+m=4 eq.1 If all oranges except 5, this means a+m=5 eq.2 If all mangoes except 7, this means o+a=7 eq. 3
Therefore, (o + m) + (a + m) + (o + a) = 4 + 5 + 7 = 16 2a + 2o + 2m = 16 a + o + m =8
Total number of fruits=X Apples=X-4 Oranges=X-5 Mangoes=X-7 So (X-4)+(X-5)+(X-7)=X X=8
x=apples , y= oranges ,z=mangoes
y+z=4, x+z=5, x+y=7
solving eq we get the value of x y and z.
adding x y z we get total no. of fruits.
No of Apples= x- 7 no of Oranges= x- 5 no of Mangoes= x- 4
Total= 3x- 16= x 3x- x= 2x= 16 If so x= 16/2= "8"
m+o=4
a+m=5
o+a=7
2m+2o+2a=16
m+O+a=8
Let the total number of fruits be x x-4 = Apples x-5 = oranges x-7 = Mangoes x-4+x-5+x-7 = x solve for x, x=8
X+Y+Z=N
N=X+4,N=Y+5, N=Z+7
3N= X+Y+Z+16
N=8
Let a be the number of apples in the basket, b the number of oranges, and c the number of mangoes. x is the total number of the fruits in the basket. All fruits are apples except four: a=x-4 All fruits are oranges except five: b=x-5 All fruits are mangoes except seven: c=x-7 We have: x=a+b+c By substituting a,b and c with their function-x values, we will have the following equation: x=(x-4) + (x-5) + (x-7) x= x-4+x-5+x-7 x=3x-16 2x=16 then x=8
س+ص=7 س+ع=4 ص+ع=5 .. بجمع وطرح المعادلات ينتج 8 :)
x-apples y-oranges z-mangoes x+y=7 y+z=4 x+z=5 on solving we get , x=4,y=3,z=1 so,x+y+z=8
simple.... mangoes+oranges=4, apples+mangoes=5, apples+oranges=7 then through simultaneously solving these equations, we get mangoes=1, apples=4, and oranges=3
x+y=4 -- x+ z = 5 -- y + z = 7 ----- 2x+2y+2z = 16 -----x+y+z =8
Let, apple=a,b=oranges,c=mangoes b+c=4 a+c=5 a+b=7 if we solve , we get a=4,b=3 and c=1.
orange + mango = 4 apple + mango = 5 orange + apple = 7
after solving these equations we get apple =4, orange= 3, mango =1
So, total 8
a=apples, m=mangoes, o=oranges,t=total If all apples except 4, this means; t-4=a and o+m=4 If all oranges except 5, this means; t-5=o and a+m=5 If all mangoes except 7, this means t-7=m and o+a=7 so: 3t-16=a+o+m and o+m=4 3t-16=a+4 and t-4=a 3t-16=t t=8
X-4 + X-5 +X-7 = X (very easy idea)
solving ...... 3X-16 =X..........2X = 16 .........(/2) ..........X=8
Total no.of fruits=X 1.Hence for first criteria X - 4 2.for second criteria X - 5 3. for second criteria X - 7 therefore X= (X - 4)+(X - 5)+(X - 7) X = 3X - 16 2X = 16 X = 8 therefore total no. of fruits are 8 so no. of apples=4 , no. oranges=3 ,no. of mango=1,
o+m=4 a+m=5
2a+2o+2m=16 2(a+o+m)=16 a+o+m=16/2 a+o+m=8
First you must analyze the problem.If All are apples except 4, so the oranges & mango are equally divided 2 orange & 2 mango but in the second phrase there will be 5 fruits except mango & apple so it means that their is 1 mango & 4 apple and in 3 phrase their will be 7 apple & orange so there is 3 orange to complete the seven. Equation: 1st phrase -4 - 0 = 4 2nd phrase = 5 - 4 = 1 3rd phrase = 7 - 4 = 3 Total 8
O+M=4,A+M=5,A+O=7 solving we get M=1,A=4,O=3 therefore total no. of fruits=A+O+M=8
let total fruits=x apples=x-4 ;oranges=x-5 ;mangoes=x-7; x-4+x-5+x-7=x; 2x=16; x=8
A=X-4 O=X-5 M=X-7 A+O+M=3X-16 but A+O+M=X(total no of fruits) so X=3X-16 => X=8 A=4 O=3 M=1 now read question and see whether it satisfy or not..... it does satisfy :)
Z=sum of all numbers of fruits Apples= Z-4 Oranges= Z-5 Mangoes= Z-7
Apples + Oranges + Mangoes = Z substitution: (Z-4) + (Z-5) + (Z-7) = Z 2 Z=16 Z=8 (Z-4)
we add all of number that it gave and we gain 2(a+o+m)=16 => a+o+m=8
Apples = A ; Oranges = O ; Manggoes = M ; Total Fruits = T
; P1 => A + 4 = T ; A = T – 4 ; P2 => O + 5 = T ; O = T – 5 ; P3 => M + 7 = T ; M = T – 7
T = A + O + M
T = (T – 4) + (T – 5) + (T – 7)
T = 3T – 16
; T - 3T = - 16 ; -2T = - 16 ; T = -16/-2 ; T = 8 So total number of fruits is 8

a=apples, m=mangoes, o=oranges. If all apples except 4, this means o+m=4 eq.1 If all oranges except 5, this means a+m=5 eq.2 If all mangoes except 7, this means o+a=7 eq. 3
Solve this simultaneous equations. a=1, m=4, o=3 So total number of fruits is 8
