Lea and chris were collecting eggs from their hen house. when they finished, chris had twice as many eggs as lea. on the way to the house, however, they got to laughing. chris dropped 6 of his eggs and lea dropped 2 of hers, and then they had the same number. how many eggs did lea start with?

Lea starts with 4 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Chris's eggs = C, and Lea's eggs = L

Chris had twice as many eggs as Lea

C = 2L (1)

Chris dropped 6 eggs and Lea dropped 2 of hers, and then they had the same number of eggs.

C - 6 = L - 2 (2)

Now we have two equations to be solve.

C - 6 = L - 2

2L - 6 = L - 2

L = 4  and Chris had twice as many as Lea, so

C = 8

Lea starts with 4 eggs.
