If you place 5 flowers in each vase, you end up with some full vases, 1 empty vase and 1 vase with three flower. How many vases and flowers are there?

Let F be the number of flowers and V be the number of vases. Then

F = 5(V-2) + 3.

Here V≥3. This statement links possible number of flowers and vases. For example, let V be 3. Then F is 5+3 = 8.
