Oranges are to be transferred from larger boxes into smaller boxes. When a large box is emptied, the oranges from it fill two smaller boxes and still 10 oranges remain outside. If the number of oranges in a small box are taken to be x, what is the number of oranges in the larger box?

Explanation

To find the number of oranges in the larger box, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify the number of oranges in a small box**: Let the number of oranges in a small box be represented as \( x \).

2. **Understand the situation with the larger box**: According to the problem, when a large box is emptied, it fills two smaller boxes and still has 10 oranges left outside.

3. **Calculate the total number of oranges that the larger box contains**:
- Since each small box contains \( x \) oranges, two small boxes will contain \( 2x \) oranges.
