Some x no of bullets are shared by 3 people equally . and each
fired 4 bullets then the sum of remaining bullets is equal to
initially division value

• ans: x=18
  
  let total bullets are 3x. then all 3 people will have x bullets each.
  each fired 4 bullets so now each will have (x-4) bullets.
  total remaining bullets will be 3(x-4); since it is given that remaining bullets are equal to the initial division value so
  3(x-4)=x;
  x=6
  initially we consider total bullets are 3x so it;s 18
  
  or
  
  consider total x bullets and follow same procedure accordingly, u will get the same 18. i consider 3x for the sake of easy calculation

• ans:-18
  x no of bullets divided between 3 people the each has x/3 no of bullets
  by firing 4 bullets each has (x/3)-4 bullets
  by adding all the remaining bullets of each is equal to the initial divison value so
  (x/3-4)+(x/3-4)+(x/3-4)+(x/3-4)=x/3
  x-12=x/3
  3x-36=x
  2x=36
  x=18
