Since the equations are equal to each other, let's set them up.

x-1=2x+1; let's add 1 to both sides.

x=2x+2; let's subtract 2x from both sides.

-x=2; we need x to be positive so let's divide it by -1.

x=-2

Let's see what y is and see if x is -2.

y=-2-1=-3

y=-2(-2)+1=-4+1=-3


So, x=-2 and y=-3.

I have 6 eggs, I broke 2 eggs, fried 2 eggs, and ate 2 eggs. How many eggs do I have left.
ohaa [14]

Answer:

4 eggs are left.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is actually a tricky question and the trick is that the person, who initially have 6 eggs, has broken two eggs out of them.

Those two broken eggs were then fried and later he ate those.

It is a single incident but in question it appears that 3 different incidents took place in which the person have used all 6.

So actually, he only ate 2 eggs out of 6.
