Philoid · Accepted Answer

Given in the question that,

Number of oranges in one small box = x

Therefore,

Number of oranges in two small boxex = 2x

Also,

Total number fo oranges left = 10

Hence,

Number of oranges in the large box = Number of oranges in two small boxes + Number fo oranges left

= 2x + 10

Therefore,

There will be 2x + 10 oranges in the large box
