Answer: she begin with 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beggining she had A books.

She sold half of that, so now she has A/2 books.

She bought 9, so now she has A/2 + 9 books,

And we know that A/2 + 9 = 11 books

So A/2 = 11 - 9 = 3

A = 2*3 = 6

So she started with 6 books

Answer:

She began with 4 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number of Jessi Comic books be x

When She sold half of the comic books, she has ( x - x/2) = x/2 left

When she bought 9 more, she has 11 in total. That is, x/2 + 9 = 11

x/2 = 11 - 9

x/2 = 2

x = 2 * 2

x = 4

She began with 4 books

find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first and the third equals the sum of the second and 13
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The three odd integers are 11, 13 and 15.

Step-by-step explanation: The first point to note is that the three unknown numbers are consecutive, which means they follow one after the other. Also we are told that the numbers are consecutive “odd integers.” This also means there is a two-digit interval between one number and the next. Hence, if the first number is A, the next number will be A + 2, and the third number will be A + 2 + 2 (that is, A + 4)

At this point we can now derive the following expressions based on the information we have been given, which is;

The sum of the first and third (A + {A + 4} )equals the sum of the second and 13 ({A + 2} + 13). Therefore we can write this out as follows;

A + {A + 4} = {A + 2} + 13

After removing brackets we now have

A + A + 4 = A + 2 + 13

2A + 4 = A + 15

By collecting like terms we now have

2A - A = 15 - 4

(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of the equation it becomes negative, and vice versa)

2A - A = 15 - 4

A = 11

Hence, the three consecutive integers are 11, 13 and 15.
