Answer:
total number of bullets at the start = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of bullets initially = 3 * x
Each of them gets X bullets after sharing.
Total number of bullets after each of them fires 4 bullets each : 3x - 3 * 4
= 3x - 12
So given 3 x - 12 = x
So 2 x = 12
x = 6
So there were totally 18 bullets in total at the beginning.

Answer:
18.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total no.of bullets = 3x
Total no.of bullets after each of them fires 4 bullets = 3x - (3×4)
According to the question,
3x - (3×4) = x
3x-12 = x
3x-x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6.
The total no.of bullets = 3x = 3×6 = 18.
Therefore, there are 18 bullets totally at the beginning.
