Answer
Write an expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to jamil.
To prove
Let us assume that the number of pencils Katie have = x
As given
Katie gives Maggie half of her pencils.
As given
Maggie keeps 5 and gives the rest to jamil.
Thus
Therefore the expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to jamil are 
.
The Answer Is B
Use proportions to find x% of the children playing on the swings.
Meaning B is correct.
Explanation: This is a linear equation because it's written in slope-intercept form or <em>y = mx + b</em> where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the<em> b</em> represents the constant term.
So the slope will be the coefficient of the <em>x-term</em> which means the number that is in front of the <em>x</em> which in this case is -5/4.
The y-intercept is the constant term which is +8
B
Subtract 2x from the left side and the right side. Then you get -y = -2x+6. The divide each side by negative 1. Thus getting you to an answer of y = 2x-6
