    We are given with the combination ratio of ostrich eggs and duck eggs to produce a scramble and equivalently another ratio to make one. In this case, the algebraic expression would be:

    2 + 14 x = 5

    14x = 3

    x = 3/14

    The ratio thus of duck egg to ostrich egg is 3 duck eggs/14 ostrich eggs

    0.21 duck eggs per ostrich egg
