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 " .

Find f(-5)<br><br> f(x) = -4x + 3
Marina CMI [18]

For this case we have a function of the formy = f (x)

Where:

f (x) = - 4x + 3

We must find the value of the function when the variable x is -5.

Then, substituting, x = -5

f (-5) = - 4 (-5) +3

We have that by sign law- * - = +

f (-5) = 20 + 3\\f (-5) = 23

Answer:

f (-5) = 23
