Andy gave some erasers to his friends. If each of them received 5 erasers, he would have 3 erasers left. If each of them received 6 erasers, he would be short of 2 erasers. How many erasers did Andy have?

If there are x friends, then Andy had
5x+3 = 6x-2
x = 5
so Andy had 28 erasers
5x+3 = 6x-2
x = 5
so Andy had 28 erasers
