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 .

Answer:
The sale price was $67.20
Step-by-step explanation:
The sale price is 30% less than the original price. Symbolically,
Sale price: (100% less 30%) of $96, or
(1.00 - 0.30)($96), or 0.70($96) = $67.20
The sale price was $67.20
Answer:

(9.69 ¢/km)*(7580 km) = 73450.2 ¢ = $734.50
Consecutive means right after each other like 1, 2, 3, 4...so if the first sister is x old, then sister 2 is (x+1) old and sister 3 is (x+2) old. So make an equation that says x+(x+1)+(x+2)=45. Simplify and solve for x (get x alone.)
