Jeremy wants to make cookies. He makes some cookies, then eats 5 of them. He splits

the remaining amount into 3 equal portions and decides to give one portion to his mom
and one to his dad, and keep the last one to himself. He then makes 10 more cookies for
himself, before counting his cookies to find he has 17. How many cookies did Jeremy
make at the beginning?
