    50 apples, 42 oranges

    Step-by-step explanation:

    apples = a

    oranges = o

    Set up equations.

    a + o = 92

    4a + 2o = 284

    Multiply first equation by 2 and subtract.

    2a + 2o = 184

    - (4a + 2o = 284)

    -2a = - 100

    a = 50

    Now substitute the a value into any equation.

    a + o = 92

    50 + o = 92

    o = 42
