Answer:
The number of eggs in the basket is 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
Let The number of eggs in the basket = 3x + 5x
When Loza counts 3's , there are 2 eggs left over
I.e , 3 ( x - 2 )
And When Loza counts 5's , there are 4 eggs left over
I.e 5 ( x - 4 )
∴ 3 x - 6 = 5 x - 20
Or, 20 - 6 = 5 x - 3 x
Or, 14 = 2 x
∴ x = 7
So, the number of eggs = 3 × 7 + 5 × 7
= 21 + 35 = 56
Hence The number of eggs in the basket is 56 Answer
40 fewer than a number which is T would be
