Ответ:
franny took 1/4 of what was left or 1/4 of (2/3x+4) or 2/12x+1 or 1/6x+1
then returned 3
1/6x+4
eugene took 1/2 of the remainder
1/2 of (1/6x+4) is 1/12x+2
then put 2 back
1/12x+4
had 17 left
1/12x+4=17
minus 4 both sides
1/12x=13
multiply both sides by 12/1
x=156
there were 156 candies originally in the bowl
