I believe you do it like this:
1/2 Q+5/2
divide 1/2 into each term
to divide multiply by the reciprocal
1/2 x2/1= 1
5/2 x 2/1=5
1/2(Q+5)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The bag contains 6 orange and 9 lime sweets
For both sweets of the same flavor, Jodi must either choose orange or lime
No. of ways it can be done is 
The total no of ways of selecting two sweets out of 15 is 
The probability that both sweets are the same flavor
There is one solution:
use elimination method
5x - 7y = 12
5y - 2x = -7 ---> change equation around
5x - 7y = 12
-2x + 5y = -7
2 x ( 5x - 7y) = 2 x (12) multiply both sides by 2
5 x (-2x +5y) = 5 x (-7)
this give you
10x - 14y =24
-10x+25y = -35 add down
-----------------------------
11y = - 11 x is eliminated to find y value
y = -1 input to one of the original equations
5(-1) - 2x = -7
-5 - 2x = -7
+5 +5 add 5 to both sides
----------------------------
-2x = -2
x = 1
your coordinates for when they intersect is at (1, -1)
one solution
