Answer 1

Answer: Well first one chocolate souffles uses 3 eggs and each lemon maringue uses 4

Step-by-step explanation: First what i did was look at the question and it shows that there is two sets, so you have to plug in some random numbers and i started at o and if you do 8*1 you would have 1 egg per each souffles and you would have 28 eggs left and that won't work because 28/3 gives some long and then i tried 2... and 8*2 is 16 so you would have 20 eggs left and of course another long answer. But if you try three, 8*3 it gives you 24 so 36-24 and you get 12 and 3*4 is 12.. so then i plugged the same numbers in for the second part.. 3*2=6 and 4*2=8 and 6+8=14
