Answer:
A. (y/2) - 5, B. 3
Explanation:
Lets assume that the total number of pencils is y.
Katie gives Maggie half, i.e. = 
Hence Maggie has pencils
If Maggie keeps 5 pencils and give the rest to Jamil, the expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to Jamil therefore is;
Expression of pencil given to Jamil = (y/2) - 5
B.
To get the number of pencils Maggie gave to Jamil if Katie had 16 pencils, simply substitute y as 16.
(16/2) - 5
No of pencil given to Jamil = 8 - 5
= 3

Renewable energy sources are important in Eastern Europe because they allow sustainable development.
Many countries have set out their own explorers. Columbus’s discovery of the West Indies had started the quest for the New World. Many explorers were able to conquer new lands as they set out for the New World. Jacques Cartier was able to discover Canada while the Spaniards were able to conquer South America.
Eventually the Europeans, for reasons of their own, became reluctant to continue shipping so much silver to East Asia. This is largely because they preferred to hoard the silver so that they could use it to pay mercenaries in their ongoing wars. They started looking for something else to export to China and found that they were in a real bind because there were very few things that they produce more efficiently than the Chinese could. The thing that eventually filled the gap left when the Europeans tried to cut back on their silver shipments was opium.
Opium served a whole series of functions for the British in particular. It helped make their new colony in India profitable by providing a very ready revenue source. It saved on the silver that they no longer wanted to ship and, of course, the story of the opium trade to China then gets us into a whole different period of world history and different kinds of links between China and the outside world.
