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

General manual noriega was charged with drug smuggling and money laundering in 1987, he was the leader of what country?.
telo118 [61]

General Manuel Noriega was accused of trafficking illegal drugs and money laundering in 1987 when he was the president of Panama.

From 1983 until 1989, Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno, a dictator, politician, and military figure from Panama served as the country's de facto leader.

On July 10, 1992, the former dictator was convicted guilty of drug trafficking, money laundering, and racketeering and was sentenced to 40 years in prison. Noriega, who was born in Panama in 1938, gave his all in serving General Omar Torrijos, who deposed the government in a coup in 1968.

Ten days later, he finally gave up and was brought to Miami. Noriega was never again a free man. He was imprisoned in Florida, France, and ultimately in Panama, where he was killed.
