Answer
Write an expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to jamil.
To prove
Let us assume that the number of pencils Katie have = x
As given
Katie gives Maggie half of her pencils.

As given
Maggie keeps 5 and gives the rest to jamil.
Thus

Therefore the expression for the number of pencils Maggie gives to jamil are
.
The answer is 333. put the 3 and the 2 in the correct spots. then multiply 8 and 2 which is 16 then 7 and 3 which is 21. then add which is 37. you would have to multiply 37 and 9 and you would get 333.
Let the number be Y .
Y is seven
less than 5 times another (let that other be X)
Y=7-5X
sum of both Y and X minus 4 gives one
Y+X-4=1
now solve both equations .
They are intersecting lines if they are not parallel so the other option is that they are intersecting.<span />
