Question

Мама решила угостить детей конфетами. Она посчитала, что если дать детям по 4 конфеты, то 3 останутся лишними. А чтобы дать по 5 конфет, 2х конфет не хватит. Сколько было детей?

Answer 1

X*4 +3 и х*5 -2 x*4 +3 = х*5 -2 х=5 детей

Answer 2

Number of Children

To determine the number of children, we can solve the given problem using algebraic equations. Let's assume the number of children as 'x'.

According to the problem, if each child receives 4 candies, 3 candies will be left over. And if each child receives 5 candies, 2 candies will be short.

We can represent these conditions using equations:

Equation 1: 4x + 3 = Total number of candies Equation 2: 5x - 2 = Total number of candies

To find the number of children, we need to solve these equations simultaneously.

Let's solve the equations:

Equation 1: 4x + 3 = Total number of candies Equation 2: 5x - 2 = Total number of candies

Setting the two equations equal to each other:

4x + 3 = 5x - 2

Simplifying the equation:

4x - 5x = -2 - 3 -x = -5 x = 5

Therefore, there were 5 children.
