OK, it was a joke. Now let's return to our problems. 

(1) Introduce 2 (two) variables  G%5Bf%5D = gallons filled  and  G%5Bu%5D = gallons used. Then the sought expression is


      G%5Bf%5D = G%5Bu%5D = 14.


Part (1) is solved, explained and completed.


Now Part(2). 

(2) Introduce 2 (two) variables  E%5Bt%5D = eggs taken  and  E%5Bb%5D = eggs broken. Then the sought expression is


      E%5Bt%5D = E%5Bb%5D = 10.

Solved, explained and completed, too.
