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 " .

For the following right triangle, find the side length x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

\sqrt{113} = x

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangles the sum of square length of two legs is equal to square length of hypotenuse:

7^2 + 8^2 = x^2

49 + 64 = x^2 add like terms

113 = x^2 find the root for both sides

\sqrt{113} = x
