Question

Grandma Gertrude gave 13 pieces of jewelry and grandma Fien gave y pieces of jewelry to the Carlson sisters to divide evenly among themselves. There are 5 Carlson sisters. How many pieces of jewelry did each sister receive?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=\frac{13+y}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Grandma Gertrude gives 13 and Fien gives y.

$x=13+y$

The total amount of jewelry divided evenly between  the 5 sisters:

$x=\frac{13+y}{5}$

Nothing further can be done without knowing another value.
