On Sunday morning, Pugsley and Wednesday are trading pet spiders. If Pugsley were to give Wednesday two of his spiders, Wednesday would then have eight times as many spiders as Pugsley does. But, if Wednesday were to give Pugsley ten of her spiders, Pugsley would now have fourteen 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) 12
If Pugsley were to give Wednesday four of his spiders, Wednesday would then have five times as many spiders as Pugsley does:   (w + 2) = 8(p - 2)   If Wednesday were to give Pugsley four of her spiders, Pugsley would now have four fewer spiders than Wednesday had before they traded:   p + 14 = w - 10   Solving gives p = 6 and w = 30.   Answer: 6.
