    We don't know how many oranges she has so we put x.

    So, if she puts the oranges into p boxes of 3 oranges each and has 2 oranges left we can conclude this equation-

    3p+2=x

    So 3 times the number of boxes plus 2 equals how many oranges she has.

    So 3 oranges per box and p boxes so

    3 times p or 3p

    then it didn't divide evenly so the remainder was 2

    3p+2

    this was the total

    3p+2
