Uncle Liu has a basket of eggs, and he has sold more than half of them, leaving 18 eggs. How many eggs are there in this basket?

Suppose there are x eggs in a basket.

x= 1/2x+2+ 18

1/2x=20

X=40

There are 40 eggs in a basket.

You don't have to set x, just figure out what half is first.

18+2=20

Knowing that half is 20, then a basket is 20X2=40.
