On Sunday morning, Pugsley and Wednesday are trading pet spiders. If Pugsley were to give Wednesday two of his spiders, Wednesday would then have three times as many spiders as Pugsley does. But, if Wednesday were to give Pugsley one of her spiders, Pugsley would now have two fewer spiders than Wednesday had before they traded.

Options:	A) 4	B) 5	C) 6	D) 8	E) 9
If Pugsley were to give Wednesday two of his spiders, Wednesday would then have three times as many spiders as Pugsley does:   (w + 2) = 3(p - 2)   If Wednesday were to give Pugsley one of her spiders, Pugsley would now have three fewer spiders than Wednesday had before they traded:   p + 1 = w - 3   Solving gives p =6 and w = 10.   Answer: 6.
