On Sunday morning, Pugsley and Wednesday are trading pet spiders. If Pugsley were to give Wednesday two of his spiders, Wednesday would then have nine times as many spiders as Pugsley does. But, if Wednesday were to give Pugsley six of her spiders, Pugsley would now have six fewer spiders than Wednesday had before they traded. How many pet spiders does Pugsley have before the trading game commences?	Choose the correct choice
A) 4 B) 6 C) 8 D) 10 E) 20
If Pugsley were to give Wednesday two of his spiders, Wednesday would then have nine times as many spiders as Pugsley does:   (w + 2) = 9(p - 2)   If Wednesday were to give Pugsley six of her spiders, Pugsley would now have six fewer spiders than Wednesday had before they traded:   p + 6 = w - 6   Solving gives p = 4 and w = 16.   4nswer: 4.
