Answer:

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36

40 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Jill comic books.

Given:

Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.

\frac{1}{2}\ (Jill\ books) + 16\ more\ books = 36

\frac{1}{2}\ (x) + 16 = 36

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36

Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36--------(1)

Now we solve above equation for x.

Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 -16 = 36 -16

\frac{1}{2}x = 20

Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.

2\times \frac{1}{2}x =2\times 20

x = 40

Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
