To answer this item, we let x be the number of eggs in the beginning. The first half of the egg which were not boiled is represented through the equation is represented by x/2.

Next, the remainder of the egg which were not boiled nor poached is equal to

= (1/2) (3/4) x

Simplifying,

0.375x

Equating this to 9,

0.375x = 9

The value of x from the equation is 24.
