Solution:
Let us first write the general term for each sequence.
Lemuel's sequence: 2,9,16,23,…
This is an arithmetic sequence with first term a1=2 and common difference d=7.
So the nth term is an=2+7(n−1)=7n−5.
Christine's sequence: 3,7,11,15,…
This is an arithmetic sequence with first term b1=3 and common difference d=4.
So the mth term is bm=3+4(m−1)=4m−1.
We are to find how many numbers appear in both sequences among the first 2010 terms of each.
A number is in both sequences if 7n−5=4m−1 for some integers n,m with 1≤n≤2010 and 1≤m≤2010.
So 7n−5=4m−1⟹7n−4m=4.
We want integer solutions (n,m) with 1≤n≤2010, 1≤m≤2010.
Let us solve 7n−4m=4 for integers n,m.
7n−4m=4⟹7n=4m+4⟹n=74m+4.
We need n to be integer, so 4m+4≡0(mod7).
4m+4≡0(mod7)⟹4m≡−4(mod7)⟹4m≡3(mod7) (since −4≡3(mod7)).
Now, 4 and 7 are coprime, so 4 has an inverse modulo 7.
The inverse of 4 modulo 7 is 2, since 4×2=8≡1(mod7).
So m≡2×3(mod7)⟹m≡6(mod7).
So m=7k+6 for integer k≥0.
Now, 1≤m≤2010.
So 7k+6≤2010⟹7k≤2004⟹k≤286.285...
So k ranges from 0 to 286 (inclusive), so k=0,1,2,…,286.
Thus, there are 287 possible values of m.
Now, for each m=7k+6, n=74m+4=74(7k+6)+4=728k+24+4=728k+28=4k+4.
We need 1≤n≤2010.
For k=0, n=4.
For k=286, n=4×286+4=1144+4=1148.
So n ranges from 4 to 1148 in steps of 4.
But since k runs from 0 to 286, there are 287 values.
Therefore, the answer is 287.
