    The answer to your question is: 22 apples and 12 bananas

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a = apples

    b = bananas

    165a + 120b = 5070

    3a + 2b = 90

    Solve by elimination

    -60 (3a + 2b = 90)

    -180 a - 120b = - 5400

    165a + 120b = 5070

    -15 a 0 = - 330

    a = - 330 / - 15

    a = 22

    3 (22) + 2b = 90

    66 + 2b = 90

    2b = 90 - 66

    2b = 24

    b = 24/2

    b = 12
