The answer is:  " 40 books " .
____________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with.  Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
         x – (1/2)x  + 16 = 36 ;

1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ; 

(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ; 

Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:

(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16  ; 

(1/2)x = 20 ; 

Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ; 

2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ; 

to get:  x = 40 .

The answer is:  " 40 books " .

Al has twice as many cards as Bob, and Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. Together, they have 372 cards. How many cards
Musya8 [376]

Answer: Bob has 62 cards.

All has 124 cards.

Jane has 186 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cards that Bob has.

Al has twice as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that All has is 2x.

Jane has three times as many cards as Bob. It means that the number of cards that Jane has is 3x.

Together, they have 372 cards. It means that

x + 2x + 3x = 372

6x = 372

x = 372/6

x = 62

The number of cards that Al has is

2 × 62 = 124

The number of cards that Jane has is

3 × 62 = 186

1. Simplify the expression:<br> 4+36+(10-8)’-3+7<br> A. 130<br> B. 100<br> C. 38<br> D. 37
Alika [10]

Answer:

The answer isn't in the options anyway I'll write it. the answer is 46.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to BODMAS rule - addition should be done first so

4+36= 40 and -3 +7 = 4 so 40+4 ,= 44

then we should do subtracting so, 10-8 = 2

to conclude we should bring the equation to an end so,

44+2 = 46
