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?

Solution:

The concept of variables will be used to solve the given expression.

Let the number of oranges in the small box be 'x'.

The number of oranges in the larger box = Number of small boxes filled with oranges + Number of oranges that remain outside.

So, the number of oranges in the larger box = 2x + 10.

Therefore, 2x + 10 is the number of oranges in the larger box
