Given:
7 red candies
9 blue candies
12 pink candies
Condition:
Number of bags that has equal number of candies.
We can do 7 bags with 1 colored candy each. There will be an excess of 2 blue candies and 5 pink candies.
We can do 4 bags with 1 red candy, 2 blue candies, 3 pink candies. There will be an excess of 3 red candies and 1 blue candy.
We can do 3 bags with 2 red candies, 3 blue candies, 4 pink candies. There will be an excess of 1 red candy.
Expanding the left side gives
which gives two solutions,
and
. But if
, then
, but this number isn't real, so
is an extraneous solution. Meanwhile if
, you get
, so this solution is correct.
"Potential solutions" might refer to both possibilities, but there is only one actual (real) solution.
Pretty simple equation, where we need to find the number of books. If it is 2$ each day per book
72/9 = 8$ per day is the late fee paid
So if each book is 2$, then we can assume
8/2 = 4 books
So equation is
“# books = (amount paid)/(days * per day payment)”
