You can solve this by using either the elimination or substitution method:

13R (oranges) = 4p + 2m

4R + 1m = 1p

XR = 1p

That's not the answer by the way. There's a lot more to it than that.

4P = 13R - 2M

2P = 8R + 2M

6P = 21R

P = 1 TO GET R = 2/7

2/7 OF AN ORANGE WEIGHS THE SAME AS 1 PAPAYA
