B=books
Sold half of book: b/2
Bought six more: b/2+
Now has 12: b/2+6=12
Subtract 6 on both sides: b/2+6-6=12-6
b/2=6

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the snail will climb 2 meters in 1 hour but it will slip down one meter for every 2 meters climbed, then the distance traveled will be:

$d = 2 m - 1 m = 1 m$

Since in 1 hour, it climbs 2 meters minus 1 meter, the time in which the snail will reach the top is:

$t = \frac{1 h}{1 m}*18 m = 18 h$

Therefore, the snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

I hope it helps you!
