    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.

    Answer: 24 eggs
