Answer:

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.



Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.
--------(1)
Now we solve above equation for x.
Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.


Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.


Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
Due to the common probability formula I can solve that task. Refering to the task you gave, we have all the information we need. We solve it like that:

Answer:
(c) (3, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Point E partitions both the x-distance and the y-distance in the ratio 2 : 1. That is, for either the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates, ...
CE : ED = 2 : 1
Try the answers with the x-coordinates.
CE : ED = (1 -(-1)) : (5 - 1) = 2 : 4 . . . . incorrect
CE : ED = (-3 -(-1)) : (5 -(-3)) = -2 : 8 . . . . incorrect
CE : ED = (3 -(-1)) : (5 -3) = 4 : 2 = 2 : 1 . . . . correct
CE : ED = (-1 -(-1)) : (5 -(-1)) = 0 : 6 . . . . incorrect
The only viable choice is (3, 3).
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
For a partitioning of m : n, the desired point is ...
E = (n×C +m×D)/(m+n)
For partitioning of 2 : 1, the desired point is ...
E = (1×(-1, -3) + 2×(5, 6))/(2+1) = (-1+10, -3 +12)/3
E = (3, 3)
