Answer:

A. (y/2) - 5,  B. 3                    

Explanation:

Lets assume that the total number of pencils is y.

Katie gives Maggie half, i.e. = \frac{y}{2}

Hence Maggie has \frac{y}{2} pencils

If Maggie keeps 5 pencils and give the rest to Jamil, the expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to Jamil therefore is;

Expression of pencil given to Jamil = (y/2) - 5

B.

To get the number of pencils Maggie gave to Jamil if Katie had 16 pencils, simply substitute y as 16.

(16/2) - 5

No of pencil given to Jamil = 8 - 5

                                             = 3
