Lucio says he can use counters to represent the number of eggs laid. explain how he could do this to find out whose chickens laid more eggs

step by step resolutions

1) n+n+1+n+2=51

3n+3=51

3n=48

n=16

the three numbers are 16, 17 and 18.

2) x+15=4x

3x=15

x=5

radha is now 5 years old

3) the two digits are x and y.

y=3x

(10x+y)+(10y+x)=88

y=3x

11x+11y=88

y=3x

x+y=8

x+3x=8

x=2

the original number can be either 28 or 82.

4) n+(n+2)+(n+4)=48

3n+6=48

3n=42

n=14

the numbers are 14, 16 and 18.

5) y=x+3

10y+x+10x+y=143

y=x+3

11x+11y=143

y=x+3

x+y=13

x+x+3=13

2x=10

x=5

the original number can be 57 or 75.

hope this !
