X-4+X-4+X-4=X;
2X=12;
X=6;
so the initial number of bullets is 18

so X=6
So original bullets are 18 bullets...(3*6=18)

Answer / ashutosh
Suppose intially they had -> B bullets
After division
each had = B/3 bullets
After firing 4 bullets

Total=3(B/3 - 4)bullets
3(B/3 - 4)= B/3 bullets
Therefore
Total Bullets =18.
