L = Lea's eggs
C = Chris's eggs
Chris had twice as many eggs as Lea
C = 2L
Chris dropped 6 of his eggs and Lea dropped 2 of hers, and then they had the same number.
C - 6 = L - 2
two equations, two unknowns, can be solved
sub C = 2L
into
C - 6 = L - 2
2L - 6 = L - 2
L = 4
so C = 8
verify
C = 2L; twice 4 is 8, OK
C - 6 = L - 2
8 - 6 is 2 and 4 - 2 is 2, OK
So Lea started with 4 eggs, Chris with 8
Hope this helps
