Answer:

1) write a linear system - let a = boxes of apples and b = boxes of bananas

a + b = 86

32a + 16b = 1968

2) solve - use substitution

a = 86 - b

32(86 - b) + 16b = 1968

2752 - 32b + 16b = 1968

-16b = -784

16b = 784

b = 49

a + 49 = 86

a = 37

37 boxes of apples and 49 boxes of bananas
