Question

3 people went to beach they all had beer to drink and they all drank the same amount when they left they hadv3 left. The next day only 2 people went and they had the same amount of drinks but 11 left over this time how many drinks did they have.

Answer 1

The had 8 drinks

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of drinks they had

Let the total number of drinks be x

And the number of drinks they had be y

From the first part, we have that;

x-3(y) = 3

x -3y = 3

x = 3 + 3y •••••••(i)

Secondly

x-2(y) = 11

x = 11 + 2y •••••(ii)

We equate the two x

11 + 2y = 3y + 3

3y-2y = 11-3

y = 8

So what this mean is that they had 8 drinks
