Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Number of apples = x
Number of plums = 10 - x (number of apples and plums are 10 partners)
Number of pears = x (there are the same number of apples and pears)
2. How many pieces of fruit could Charlie gather?
We don't know the number of apples, pears and plums. The only information we have is that the number of apples and plums are 10 partners, it means that they add up 10. In addition, the number of pears and apples are the same.
Therefore, the number of pieces of fruit Charlie could gather is 10 plus a whole number between 1 and 9 (all the possible numbers that are 10 partners). It means Charlie could gather between 11 and 19 pieces of fruit.
