Let the number of comic books be X
if we add 14 to X = 24
so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had.
14+X=24
X=24-14
X=10
so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.

Can somebody explain Literal equations to solve for a given variable? i am so confused about it
anastassius [24]

The explanation of using Literal equations to solve for a given variable is as explained below.

How to solve Literal Equations?

Literal equations are equations containing two or more variables; at least one independent variable and one dependent variable

To solve a literal equation means to rewrite the equation so a different variable stands alone on one side of the equals sign. We have to be told for which variable we want to solve.

Linear equations in one variable may take the form ax + b = 0  and are solved using basic algebraic operations.

We begin by classifying linear equations in one variable as one of three types: identity, conditional, or inconsistent. An identity equation is true for all values of the variable.

A lake has a large population of fish. On average, there are 2,400 fish in the lake, but this number can vary by as much as 155.
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Minimum population of fish in lake = 2400 - 155 = 2245

Maximum population of fish in lake = 2400 + 155 = 2555

Step-by-step explanation:

population of fish in lake = 2400

Variation of fish = 155

it means that while current population of fish is 2400, the number can increase or decrease by maximum upto 155.

For example

for increase

population of fish can 2400 + 2, 2400 + 70, 2400 + 130 etc

but it cannot be beyond 2400 + 155.

It cannot be 2400 + 156

similarly for decrease

population of fish can 2400 - 3, 2400 - 95, 2400 - 144 etc

but it cannot be less that 2400 - 155.

It cannot be 2400 - 156

Hence population can fish in lake can be between 2400 - 155 and 2400 + 155

minimum population of fish in lake = 2400 - 155 = 2245

maximum population of fish in lake = 2400 + 155 = 2555
