X = 9
y = 6
Step by step:
Divide 15 by 2: 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5
Subtract 0.5 from 7.5 (this will later be added back): 7.5 - 0.5 = 7
Subtract 1 from 7 (she wants to buy at least 2 more children books): 7 - 1 = 6
Subtract 6 from 15 (6 being the number of puzzle books, 15 being the total number of items): 15 - 6 = 9 (number of children books)

Here, I'll help you a little
rewrite the equation as -6k/5 = 12
multiply both sides by 5
-6k=60
divide both sides by -6 to isolate k
k = -10
Hope this helps :)
