Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

X = oranges / y = apples

x - 2 = 2y and 0.5x - 0.5y = 4

x - 2 = 2y

+2 +2

x = 2y + 2

0.5x - 0.5y = 4

2(0.5x - 0.5y = 4)

x - y = 8

Substitute

(x) - y = 8

(2y + 2) - y = 8

3y + 2 = 8

- 2 -2

3y = 6

y = 2

Substitute again

x = 2y + 2

x = 2(2) + 2

x = 4 + 2

x = 6

Hope this helps!
