Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with. Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
x – (1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ;
(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16 ;
(1/2)x = 20 ;
Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ;
2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ;
to get: x = 40 .

We are given a relationship between the sides of a rectangle, that is, the length of one of its sides is 5 less two times its width, and we are asked to find an expression for the area. Let's remember that the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its side by its width. Let "w" be the length of the rectangle and "L" its lenght, then the area is given by the following formula:

We can use the relationship given in the problem, that is, its length being five less two times its width, that is:

Replacing in the formula for the area we get:

Now we use the distributive law:
Answer:
13 slices, 3/10 inches left.
Step-by-step explanation:
10 divided by 3/4 = 10 divided by .75
10 divided by .75 = 13.3
13 slices, .3 inches (3/10) leftover
Given number is 78/14.
We have to find two whole numbers between which given number 78/14 lies.
Let's convert that into mixed fraction.
To do that we divide 78 by 14 to find the quotient.
We see that 14 goes 5 times into 78 and leaves remainder of 8.
So we can rewrite 78/14 as
.
means little more than 5 but less than 6.
So required two whole numbers are 5 and 6.
