Question

Annie have 56 stamps that are 26 less than one half of my stamps how many stamps do i have？​

Answer 1

Answer:

You have 164 stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of my stamps be 'x'

Half of x subtracted by 26 = 56

$\frac{1}{2} x$ - 26 = 56

$\frac{1}{2} x$ = 56 + 26 =  82

$x$ = 82 x 2 =  164

Let's check

$\frac{164}{2}$ - 26 = 56

$\frac{164}{2}$ = 56 + 26

164     = 82 x 2

164 = 164!

The answer is correct.
