From the chord theorem we have:
Answer: 8(x+5) 8x + 40
40 + 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the 8 by multiplying by each value inside the parentheses.
Commutative property in addition and multiplication allows the terms to be in reversed order.
The answer is: " 40 books " .

Explanation:
____________________________________________
Let "x" equal the number of books that Jill started with. Solve for "x" :
____________________________________________
x – (1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
1x – (1/2)) = (1/2)x ;
(1/2)x + 16 = 36 ;
Subtract "16" from EACH SIDE of the equation:
(1/2)x + 16 – 16 = 36 – 16 ;
(1/2)x = 20 ;
Multiply each side of the equation by "2" ;
2*(1/2)x = 20 * 2 ;
to get: x = 40 .

The answer is: " 40 books " .
